Tamiya 1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman "Easy Eight"
Category: Scale Model
Recreate the U.S. Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman "Easy Eight" European Theater with a Tamiya 1/35 scale model kit.
The M4A3E8 was one of the final Sherman types and thus had the benefit of design improvements developed from experience in battle. These included a hardy welded late production hull, plus the welcome addition of the 76mm main gun. It was also fitted with new Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS), and wider tracks, making for the significantly more comfortable ride that led to the M4A3E8's nickname of "Easy Eight."
Features:
- Slide molded parts artfully capture surface textures of cast turret and welded upper hull panels.
- Wide, single-pin T66 tracks are realistically depicted using belt type parts. Drive sprockets feature precisely molded holes.
- Engine grille, rear-installed deflector, and tool parts showcase stunning realism.
- Clear parts recreate headlight lenses and cupola vision blocks.
- Features commander torso figure and decals to recreate tanks from two units in the European Theater at the end of WWII.
