Academy 13500 - 1/35 M4A3 (76)W Battle of Bulge Replica

The Academy 13500 - 1/35 M4A3 (76)W captures the Sherman tank used during the winter campaigns with careful moulding and part layout. The kit gives modellers the chance to recreate the 76mm gun armed variant with accurate silhouette and surface detail.

Background and modelling tips

The M4A3 (76)W proved important during late 1944 engagements and this kit reflects that legacy with realistic external fittings. Take time with seam removal and fit checks to ensure crisp panel lines before painting and weathering.

Presentation and shelf appeal

Finished at 1/35 scale, the model presents well on a shelf or within a diorama. Its scale and authentic proportions make it a useful addition to a display of WWII armour or a period vignette.

Is this kit suitable for first time modellers?

New modellers can attempt it but should expect a learning curve. Small details and alignment demand patience and basic tools.

What paint colours work for a Bulge-era Sherman?

Typical schemes include olive drab and winter washes. Many modellers add snow effects or muted weathering to reflect the 1944-45 conditions.

Can parts be used for conversions or kitbashes?

Yes, the detailed parts are compatible with common conversion techniques. Careful trimming and fit testing make them useful for custom projects.
