Inside the Tamiya 32523 1/48 M4A1 Sherman Kit

The Tamiya 32523 model is a compact 1/48 depiction of the M4A1 Sherman, chosen by modellers who value correct surface shapes and period detail. The cast upper hull of this variant gives it a distinctive rounder look compared with other Sherman types.

The Role of the M4A1 in WWII

The Sherman series was a backbone for Allied armour during World War II, with production numbers reaching roughly 50,000. The M4A1 gained recognition for its cast construction and smoother external curves, which make it an interesting subject for historical modelling projects.

Assembly Features and Customisation Options

This model is 119mm in length and 55.5mm across in 1/48 scale. It features a pre-coated die-cast lower hull to add heft and realism. Builders will find optional components included for transmission housings, air cleaners and gun shields to reflect several field variants.

The turret rotates and the barrel can be positioned after building, allowing dynamic display choices. Pre-moulded stowage and three marking sets mean you can choose different theatre appearances for your finished model.
