The M4A3E8 was one of the last and most developed versions of the American Sherman medium tank. It combined the 76 mm gun with horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) and wider tracks, which earned it the nickname "Easy Eight". From late 1944 it fought in Europe and later also in the Korean War. Tamiya's 1:35 kit from 2015 depicts the tank in the European Theater with finely reproduced cast and weld textures.
