Tamiya 35346 U.S. Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman ‘Easy Eight’ 1/35 Scale

The M4A3E8, was one of the last Sherman variants and had the benefit of design improvements developed from experience in battle. These included a hardy welded late production hull, and a 76mm main gun. It was also fitted with new Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS), and wider tracks, making for the significantly more comfortable ride that led to the M4A3E8’s nickname of “Easy Eight.” They were thrown into their maiden operation in the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944 as part of the 4th Armoured Division under General Patton’s overall command, contributing to the relief of the besieged town of Bastogne and the eventual triumph of the Allies in the European Theatre.
