1:35 U.S. Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman “Easy Eight” Korean War
#35359

This model assembly kit depicts the Korean War variant of the
M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman. This kit variant includes new parts!


The Sherman – reliable and available in huge numbers - was a game
changer for the Allies in WWII, and the Easy Eight a prevalent
variant most notable for its horizontal volute spring suspension
(HVSS) and smooth ride.

The Easy Eight's career did not end with WWII, however, as a
number were refurbished and thrown back into action by a largely
demobilized U.S. Army in the Korean War from 1950. They faced off
against T34/85s operated by the Korean People's Army with great
success, and were later often used in a supporting fire role.
