The MK2 commander's cupola appeared on British Sherman tanks from the second half of the war. It provided better protection and visibility for the tank commander, replacing the simpler American-type hatches. British Shermans fitted with this type of cupola took part in operations in Normandy after D-Day, during the liberation of France, and further fighting through the Netherlands into Germany.

The Panzer Art RE35-659 set is intended for both advanced and intermediate modelers who want to enhance the realism of their model beyond the standard kit level. The resin material ensures exceptionally crisp and sharp details, far surpassing those typical of injection-molded parts. Basic modeling skills and the use of resin glue and modeling putty are required for assembly.
