About product

M4A3E8 Sherman with T66 tracks (1:72, Trumpeter)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the American M4A3E8 Sherman medium tank, nicknamed the Easy Eight, in the form with steel T66 tracks, in 1:72 scale from Trumpeter. The model captures the late Second World War form with the wide HVSS suspension. The tracks are of the flexible (vinyl) type with the T66 pattern impressed, and a decal sheet is included.

The real subject

The M4A3E8 was an improved version of the Sherman, whose letter designation E8 comes from the new HVSS suspension with horizontal coil springs. That brought a calmer ride, easier maintenance and wider tracks with better cross-country mobility. The vehicle carried a longer 76 mm gun with higher penetration, which improved its chances against more heavily armored opponents. The nickname Easy Eight arose from spelling out the designation E8 and caught on among the crews.

Building and painting tips

Assemble the HVSS suspension and the wheels before closing up the hull. Use thin cement, a primer and an airbrush; you will bring the olive green finish to life with dark washes into the seams and pigments for dust and mud on the wide running gear, which is a striking feature of this version.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of American armor of the Second World War
  • Anyone interested in late Shermans with HVSS suspension
  • Modelers who want to set the version with T66 tracks apart from the Korean form
  • Beginners and advanced builders in 1:72 alike

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

FAQ

The letters E8 refer to the HVSS suspension with horizontal coil springs, which brought a calmer ride and wider tracks. The nickname Easy Eight arose from spelling out the designation E8.

This is the Second World War form with steel tracks of the T66 pattern; the Korean version has different tracks and period equipment features from the time of the Korean War.

The model uses flexible (vinyl) tracks with the T66 pattern impressed, which are wrapped around the running gear without gluing individual links.
