Tamiya 35359 1/35 U.S. M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight Model Kit - Scale Modellers Edition  [35359]

Scale replica of the M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight by Tamiya

The M4A3E8 Easy Eight is notable for its upgraded 76mm gun and horizontal volute spring suspension, changes that improved crew handling and mobility. With a welded hull and V8 gasoline engine, the design extended the Sherman chassis service life into postwar conflicts. This 1/35 kit aims to represent both the mechanical layout and the historical role of the vehicle for hobbyists and history fans.

Operational History and Detail Focus

Deployed into the Korean conflict, the Easy Eight continued to be a workhorse on the battlefield. Units sometimes painted distinctive markings that added an element of battlefield identification and morale. The kit offers options to reflect those service markings and finishes.

Assembly Highlights and Finish

Designed with Tamiya's usual attention to mould quality, the kit provides crisply defined parts that streamline assembly. Key elements such as the suspension components and turret geometry are modelled to aid accurate painting and weathering.
