Figarti's ETA-027 M4 Sherman Crab Tank (Mine sweeper)
Limited Edition Box #060/130.
The M4 Sherman "Crab" tank used the M4 Sherman tank basic structure which allowed the installation of a number of changes. Thus, the "Crab" version emerged: it was a "mine hunter" which had two metal arms in front of the tank and connected by a cylinder. Long strings touching the ground were attached to the cylinder. In contact with anti-personal or anti-tank mines, the chains would action the explosion which would not destroy any part of the Sherman tank. The tank was then able to continue its mission within the minefield.
