1:35 US Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman - "Easy Eight" European
Theater
Item #35346

Description
This is an all-new kit designed by Tamiya's top designers which
recreates the "Easy Eight" variant of the legendary Sherman
medium tank. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the “Easy Eight” by
its crews, thanks to the relatively smooth drive afforded by its
Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS). Another
distinguishing feature was its 76mm gun. Some of the 2,500
examples produced were in time to appear in the Battle of the
Bulge (Dec. 1944-Jan. 1945), and others even served in the Korean
War years after the Allied WWII triumph. Movie buffs will no
doubt also recall that the "Easy Eight" was the star of the 2014
hit film "Fury."

THE TAMIYA-DESIGNED M4A3E8 KEY FEATURES

Slide molded turret and upper hull parts give an unbeatable
combination of hassle-free assembly and highly realistic detail
levels. Cast metal turret and welded hull surface textures are
rendered accurately.

The rear showcases sharp, detailed molding on engine grilles and
exhausts, as well as the numerous accessories depicted by the
kit.

Clear parts are used to recreate light lens and cupola vision
block parts, further upping the realism of this kit.

The single-pin T66 tracks are recreated with minimum fuss and
great accuracy, by the included belt-type tracks. Drive sprockets
feature fine holes.

A commander figure in realistic pose is provided for the cupola.
The periscope seen on the hatch underside is depicted using
separate parts.
