About product

US M4A3 Sherman (1:48, Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American M4A3 Sherman medium tank in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model captures the M4A3 version with a welded hull and a gun of 75 mm caliber. The package contains photo-etched parts; check the exact contents, the decal schemes and the accessories against the manufacturer's part number for this item.

The real subject

The M4A3 was the version of the Sherman preferred by the US Army. It differed from the others in its Ford GAA gasoline V8 engine, which offered good performance and reliability. It had a welded hull and carried a gun of 75 mm caliber in a rotating turret. The M4A3 was deployed in Europe and in the Pacific and made up a substantial part of the American armored units in the closing stage of the war.

Building and painting tips

In 1:48 scale, assemble and paint the running gear and the lower hull before you close the parts up. Glue the parts with thin cement for plastic and the fine photo-etched parts with cyanoacrylate. After spraying the olive green camouflage, emphasize the panel lines with a wash and add restrained dust and mud effects with pigments appropriate to the smaller scale.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American armor in the smaller 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a quicker build than in a large scale
  • Anyone interested in the M4A3 version with the Ford GAA engine
  • Fans of fine weathering with washes and pigments

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