About product

Hauler 1:48 M4A3 Sherman - photo-etched detail set

An aftermarket photo-etched set from the Czech maker Hauler for the M4A3 Sherman model in 1:48 scale. The set is cut for the Hobby Boss kit and holds metal parts replacing the plastic originals. It is an accessory, not a model.

The real subject

The Sherman was built in several versions, which differed mainly in the power unit and the construction of the hull. The M4A3 had a welded hull and the Ford GAA gasoline V8, and it became the version the American army preferred for its own units. The differences between versions are not cosmetic: the hatches, the exhausts, the grilles over the engine compartment and the stowage of equipment are all in different places. Photo-etched sets are therefore made for a specific version and are not interchangeable between versions.

Tools and procedure

For working with photo-etch, have ready a sharp scalpel with a new blade, a hard glass or metal surface, tweezers with fine points and ideally a bender. Cut the parts off with pressure from the blade, never tear them out, or a burr will be drawn out at the joint. Try every part dry before gluing and mark on the drawing what you have already done. Degrease the metal, glue with super glue in drops and at the end spray a thin primer, so that the paint holds.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American armor in 1:48 scale
  • those who build a specific version of the Sherman and want to set it apart
  • modelers with experience of photo-etch
  • anyone interested in a display-case model with detail to be examined close up

The set is an accessory for a kit. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

That cannot be relied on. The versions differ in the hull, the engine compartment and the stowage of equipment, which is why the manufacturer makes sets separately for the individual variants.

Above all in the power unit and in the welded hull. That also brings differences at the rear of the vehicle, which then feed into the detail sets.

It is a standard photo-etch fret for one model. The exact list of parts is given in the manufacturer's instructions.
