These are the Italeri 1/72 quick-build Jumbo Shermans. They take minutes to build.
There's no record of Jumbo's ever being given to the British by the US, but apparently quite a lot of in-the-field experimentation took place around adding extra armour plating, and in some cases even with concrete. The detail of the weld-lines can be seen along the upper-hull edges of the model in the first photo.
The US army mainly used Jumbo's in the advancing column lead-tank role for obvious reasons, and a high percentage were destroyed in combat because of this.

Hi Guy looks good using the 'large' on image size edit. Stay safe Rupe
You're right Rupe, the photos default to XL, so as you pointed out, you have to change the size yourself for each photo, takes seconds.
