## Description

This is an all-new kit designed by Tamiya's top designers which recreates the "Easy Eight" variant of the legendary Sherman medium tank. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the "Easy Eight" by its crews, thanks to the relatively smooth drive afforded by its Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS). Another distinguishing feature was its 76mm gun. Some of the 2,500 examples produced were in time to appear in the Battle of the Bulge (Dec. 1944-Jan. 1945), and others even served in the Korean War years after the Allied WWII triumph. Movie buffs will no doubt also recall that the "Easy Eight" was the star of the 2014 hit film "Fury."Requires paint and assembly.

Review: Worth every cent! - I bought this for my 14 year old son and this is his review: Even though I have very little experience with modeling (3rd model overall, 2nd tank), I have so much to say! This model was super fun to put together and with a little bit of prior practice with a similar model should prep you for this. It was a lot less challenging than I thought—so beginners like me, don’t be intimidated! I’d say the hardest part is probably applying the turret and frontal decals; they get very finicky and I had to weather them more than I would’ve wanted to. And speaking of weathering, it’s actually quite easy and you’ll get it quick. This is a super-detailed model for how beginner-friendly I found it to be, with all the small parts (be careful, I nearly lost several parts!) Some other advice and side notes: if you’re using Tamiya paints and/or super-thin cement like those depicted in the picture, WEAR A MASK. Or have a fan or whatnot, because that stuff is stinky! I also suggest having each and every thing in the picture w/ all the tools for the best result, but is not necessary. The 2-inch Lego figure is for clarity of the size of the model. Nothing in the picture containing my paints and tools is included. The paint job I did was actually quite different from the company’s original; I did a weathered desert while they wanted an urban-ish olive drab. Without breaks from other things, it should take a solid few days, but that depends. All in all, great model and I can’t wait for any other models from Tamiya that I can come across. I hope this review was helpful!
Review: Very detailed model - This was a fun model to build. The details are really great. Another modeler had written a review about how they were disappointed that Tamiya stamped a model number on the turret (7054366) and they removed it but I researched it and the numbers on the exterior of the tank model look to be legitimate for the actual tank. Coming from recently building the Tamiya Panzerkampfwagen IV Ausf. G model, this one was much easier. The one thing I didn’t do was use the rubber T66 tracks that came with the kit They didn’t look good. I bought “1/35 Workable Metal HVSS T80 Track Links: M4 M4A3E8 Sherman M50 M51 Super Sherman Tank Model Kit”. They are metal and look much better. I used an X-acto knife on both the .30 cal machinegun and the .50 cal machinegun to create a tiny hole in the end of the barrel to make it look a little more accurate. Overall, a great model kit that was pretty fun to build and I'm happy with the end result.

## Features

- Slide molded turret and upper hull parts give an unbeatable combination of hassle-free assembly and highly realistic detail levels. Cast metal turret and welded hull surface textures are rendered accurately.
- The rear showcases sharp, detailed molding on engine grilles and exhausts, as well as the numerous accessories depicted by the kit.
- Clear parts are used to recreate light lens and cupola vision block parts, further upping the realism of this kit.
- The single-pin T66 tracks are recreated with minimum fuss and great accuracy, by the included belt-type tracks. Drive sprockets feature fine holes.
- A commander figure in realistic pose is provided for the cupola. The periscope seen on the hatch underside is depicted using separate parts.
