About product

The hull of the Sherman M4A3 HVSS with sandbags

A replacement hull of the American Sherman M4A3 medium tank with HVSS suspension, complemented by a frame with bags filled with sand. The improvised protection is modeled right on the part, so stacking the bags piece by piece falls away. A kit of the tank is not in the package.

The real subject

The M4A3 with horizontal HVSS suspension was a late form of the Sherman. Wider tracks improved its going over soft terrain and the gasoline eight-cylinder engine counted as the most successful power unit of the whole series. The crews hung on the front and the sides whatever was at hand: sandbags, logs, spare track links. Against Panzerfausts it worked less well than the soldiers wished, but the habit held on to the end of the fighting in Europe.

Painting improvised armor

Sacking is painted warm, into ocher and gray-beige, and every bag will take a slightly different shade, because a uniform surface looks false. Leave the frame in the shade of the tank and pick out wear down to the metal on it. The contrast between the coarse fabric and the smooth armor is supported by fine dust in the places where the bags touch the hull. Before you seat the part for good, try dry how the gun and the driver's hatches fit to it.

Who the hull is intended for

  • builders of American tanks from the close of the war in Europe
  • modelers who want improvised armor without making it themselves
  • dioramas from the fighting in towns and in hedgerows
  • collectors of conversions in 1:35 scale

FAQ

The horizontal volute spring suspension of the late Shermans, which you recognize by the wider tracks and the different wheels.

They hoped it would slow down a shaped-charge round. The effect was questionable, but the habit spread.

No, the protection is part of the shape of the part; all you deal with is the seating and the color.
