1/35 Sherman M4A3 'Wet' Display Kit - Italeri 96440  [IT-96440]

Italeri 96440 Sherman M4A3 Wet - kit overview

This 1/35 scale injection moulded kit represents the Sherman M4A3 'Wet' variant and is intended as a static display model with emphasis on accurate external fittings and variant-specific stowage arrangements.

The M4A3 Sherman served widely with US forces in World War II and many production examples used the Ford GAA V8 powerplant. The 'Wet' label denotes wet-stowage changes and altered fuel arrangements introduced to lower fire risk and improve crew survivability in later modifications.

The Wet variant is notable for its altered external stowage and fuel drum placement compared with earlier Shermans. Model builders should pay attention to turret fittings, side stowage bins and fuel drum mounts when assembling. Expect standard steps for plastic armour kits: trimming parts from sprues, cleaning mould seams, careful glue work on hull and turret joins, and finishing tracks before painting and weathering to convey battlefield wear and variant detail.

A compact and faithful 1/35 representation of the Sherman M4A3 'Wet' that suits modellers aiming for historically informed display pieces.
