M4A1 Hedgerow Cutter
During the Normandy campaign, the French coastal hedgerows or “bocage” presented a substantial obstacle to Allied tanks. Tanks pushing over the top of these hedgerows exposed their vulnerable ½ inch belly armour to German anti-tank weapons. American ingenuity solved this problem when Sergeant Curtis G. Culin designed and supervised the construction of a hedgerow cutting device made from scrap iron pulled from German obstacles littering the Normandy beaches. This allowed tanks to plow through the hedgerows while being protected by frontal armour. Adding to its growing line of Sherman tank variants, Figarti Miniatures introduces its “M4A1 Hedgerow Cutter” (Item # ETA-022) with a single tank commander figurine. The Figarti M4A1 Hedgerow Cutter has many of the distinctive features of a M4A1 tank, including the rounded edges of a fully cast upper hull, armoured engine air inlet cover behind turret, protruding square muffler tailpipes, twin air cleaners, and
twin engine access doors. Only 100 sets of this livery will be produced. Retail $179. Shipped out 2 weeks ago, will arrive your dealer end of this month/beginning of December.
