Hobby Boss 84801 1/48 M4A1(76)W Overview for Modellers

The Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A1(76)W model offers a faithful miniature of a notable WWII Sherman variant. Its defining cast hull and the 76mm gun are represented so builders can explore the early wartime adaptations used in actions like Cobra after the Normandy landings.

Construction and Detail Fidelity

The kit reproduces the T23 turret profile and the wet storage protection arrangement found on the original vehicles. Parts are formatted to encourage careful fitting and surface finishing, ideal for those planning weathering or close-up diorama work.

Display and Collecting Appeal

Whether added to a small-scale diorama or displayed as part of a collection, this model conveys the engineering changes of the M4 series and makes efficient use of shelf space for modellers with limited room.
