About product

Brass photo-etch: the fenders and track covers of the M4A3E8 Sherman tank 1:35 (Voyager Model)

This set from Voyager Model is a brass photo-etched set of fenders and track covers for a model of the American M4A3E8 Sherman tank in 1:35 scale. It replaces the thick plastic fenders and the upper covers of the running gear with thin photo-etched parts with brackets and a realistic pattern. It is neither a complete kit nor a full detail set but a focused set. The set is tailored to the Tamiya 25175 kit.

The real subject

The M4A3E8 Sherman, nicknamed the Easy Eight after the E8 designation, was an American medium tank of the end of the Second World War. It was characterized by HVSS suspension and wider tracks, which improved its ride. It served at the end of the war and in the conflicts that followed. Thin photo-etched fenders and track covers look more faithful than the plastic parts.

Building and painting tips

Separate the photo-etched parts from the fret with a sharp knife, make the bends over a bending tool or a metal ruler and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue, or with two-part epoxy. Degrease the parts before painting and lay down a primer for metal surfaces; it is best to spray the paint with an airbrush so that the fine detail does not get flooded. Fill the gap between the photo-etched part and the plastic with filler.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to replace thick plastic fenders and track covers with thin photo-etch
  • More experienced builders used to working with photo-etched parts
  • Anyone interested in American vehicles of the Second World War in 1:35 scale

This is an add-on photo-etched set, not a complete model. The base kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
