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.

  • Plastic kit of the M4A3E8 Sherman
  • Finished model approx. 214 mm long and 86 mm wide
  • Slide-moulded turret and upper hull with cast and weld textures
  • T66 belt-type tracks
  • Clear headlight lenses and vision blocks; movable exhaust deflector
  • Commander half figure
  • Two decal options from the European Theater

The belt-type tracks and slide-moulded hull make for a straightforward build of a late-war Sherman. Supplied unassembled and unpainted; paints and glue are not included.
