Discover the power and history of the M247 Sergeant York with this detailed model kit from Takom. The M247, a self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, was developed in the late 1970s as a strategic replacement for the M163 in the United States. Inspired by the Soviet ZSU-23-4 Shilka's success in the Fourth Middle East War, the U.S. Army initiated the DIVAD (Division Air Defense) project in 1977. After a competitive selection process involving several companies, the Ford Aerospace prototype was chosen, leading to the birth of the M247, affectionately nicknamed "Sergeant York." Despite its promising features, the M247 was never deployed, as the need for such a tank was re-evaluated in the 1990s.

This crafted model kit captures the essence of the M247 Sergeant York, offering enthusiasts the chance to build and showcase a piece of military history. The kit is designed with precision, featuring main hatches that can be assembled in open or closed positions, providing a glimpse into the tank's interior.
