About product

M4A3(76)W Sherman 1:35, an Academy plastic kit

An injection-molded plastic model of the M4A3(76)W Sherman medium tank in 1:35 scale from Academy. The boxing relates to the fighting in the Ardennes (winter 1944). The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted; for the exact contents of the box follow the enclosed instructions.

The real subject

The M4A3 was the version of the Sherman with the powerful Ford GAA gasoline engine, which the US Army regarded as its preferred home variant. The (76)W designation means a 76 mm high-velocity gun in a T23 turret and so-called wet stowage, in which the ammunition bins are surrounded by an antifreeze liquid to reduce the risk of fire after a hit. The vehicle was widely used in the final battles in Western Europe.

Building and painting tips

Finish the running gear and the lower hull before you close up the upper parts. For a winter Ardennes scene an olive green base works well, covered with a white winter camouflage that can be rubbed off in places to reveal the color underneath. Washes will bring out the detail and pigments will create mud and dust effects; if you use the wider track extensions, do not forget the snow and mud deposits.

Who the model is for

  • For anyone interested in American armor of the Second World War
  • For collectors of Shermans in 1:35 scale
  • For modelers who want to try winter camouflage and weathering
  • For intermediate builders

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
