The plastic kit 1:35 M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight from Tamiya, the late American Sherman with HVSS suspension, wide tracks and a 76 mm gun. A modern tooling from 2015 with excellent fit.
Responsibility details are not available.
An injection-molded plastic kit of the late American medium tank M4A3E8 Sherman, nicknamed the Easy Eight. It is a modern Tamiya tooling from 2015, not an old borrowed mold, and it shows: a slide-molded turret and upper hull with faithful cast and weld texture, clear parts for the headlights and the vision blocks of the commander's cupola, an opening commander's hatch and a half-figure of a commander. Decals for machines of two units from the European theater of the end of the Second World War are included. The characteristic wide T66 tracks are in the package as one-piece belt parts, not as individual links, so the build is quick and painless. Tamiya is also a brand with a reputation for trouble-free building, which makes it an excellent choice even for the less experienced.
The Easy Eight is a late development step of the Sherman and it looks markedly different from the early machines. Two things define it: the HVSS suspension (horizontal volute spring suspension) with much wider tracks, which meant lower ground pressure, better ride and a smoother run, hence the nickname, and a 76 mm gun in a lengthened turret, which gave the crew a real chance against the stronger German tanks. It came into use at the end of the fighting in Europe and made its name above all in the Korean War. It was brought to the wider public by the film Fury, where it plays the leading tank.
Finish and paint the HVSS running gear before you close the hull. Glue with thin cement for plastic. The base olive drab needs the upper surfaces lightened, otherwise the model looks flat. On the tracks, a dark steel base, dust pigment and light graphite polishing on the contact faces all work. A dark wash into the welds and the scribed lines, dust and mud on the running gear. Apply the decals over a gloss clear coat and seal them with a flat one.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
