Hobby Boss 84801 1/48 M4A1(76)W Tank - Historical Scale Replica

The Hobby Boss 1/48 scale U.S M4A1(76)W kit gives scale modellers the chance to recreate a key WWII vehicle. Famous for its one-piece cast hull and the 76mm M1 gun, the M4A1(76)W saw action in operations such as Cobra after D-Day. This kit focuses on the early production traits that distinguish it from later M4 variants.

Scale Accuracy and Build Notes

Parts are engineered to reflect the T23 turret shape and the wet storage protection features of the original tank. Builders will find the hull and turret details precise, making the assembly rewarding for those who enjoy careful fitting and surface detailing.

Display and Collecting Appeal

Beyond construction, this 1/48 model works well in dioramas or as a standalone display piece, representing the design evolution within the M4 series. Its compact footprint makes it a practical addition to a shelf of WWII armour.
