Compact 1/48 Presentation of the M4A3(76)W by Hobby Boss

The Hobby Boss 1/48 scale rendition of the U.S M4A3(76)W Sherman captures key visual features of this WWII tank. With its 76mm M1 gun, the vehicle improved engagement potential against heavy German tanks during late-war operations.

Prototype Role and Kit Highlights

The M4A3(76)W variant offered crews greater firepower and the model reproduces this focus with proportionate turret shape and chassis detail. The kit includes VVSS suspension and two distinct road wheel designs, each showing crisp mould lines and side detail.

Modeling Appeal

Builders who enjoy historical subjects will value the clear part separation and the meaningful engineering cues in the turret and running gear. The assembly process is rewarding for display builds and small dioramas.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue

Does the kit include extra track options?

This kit provides the standard plastic track sections appropriate for 1/48 scale; no alternate track types are included.

Are the road wheels interchangeable?

Two styles of road wheels are supplied so builders can show different production details; parts are modelled to fit the same suspension mounts.

What scale of display base suits this kit?

A small 1/48 diorama base or a compact plinth works well to show the tank without overwhelming the subject.

Can aftermarket details be used?

Yes, builders can add photo-etch or resin detail sets scaled to 1/48 to refine hatches and external fittings if desired.
