This is a brand new kit, designed by Tamiya’s top designers. It recreates the “Easy Eight” variant of the legendary Sherman medium tanks. The M4A3E8 is affectionately known as the “Easy Eight”, thanks to its relatively smooth drive provided by the Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension. The 76mm cannon was another distinguishing feature. Some of the 2,500 produced examples were ready to serve in the Battle of the Bulge from Dec. 1944 to Jan. 1945, and others served in the Korean War after the Allied WWII victory. The “Easy Eight”, as movie buffs may also remember, was the star in the 2014 smash hit film “Fury”. “Requires paint and assembly.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. The drive sprockets have fine holes.
A realistic commander figure is included for the cupola. Separate parts are used to represent the periscope on the hatch’s underside.
