M4A1 Sherman Calliope

The T34 Calliope was a 60-tube tank mounted rocket launcher which fired 4.6 inch rockets. The Calliope was generally mounted on top of an M4 Sherman tank and served within US armour units from 1943 onwards albeit in small numbers. The elevation of the rocket tubes was controlled by connecting them to the main 75mm gun. By elevating the gun, the tubes could be elevated at the same angle. This particular kit is of an M4A1 with a T34 Calliope.
