Hobby Boss 1/48 U.S M4A3 Medium Tank: Faithful Small-Scale Reproduction

The U.S M4A3 Medium Tank played a central role in World War II armored operations, and this 1/48 scale release by Hobby Boss recreates its defining traits. The kit reflects period details such as the Ford GAA powerplant and the revised 47-degree glacis plate along with enlarged crew hatches.

Turret and Hull Authenticity

The model reproduces the M4A3 turret layout including the locally thickened right-side armor used to support gun fittings without extra appliqued plates. Builders can choose the early hull configuration to match specific historical examples.

Building Experience

Assembly calls for careful fitting and neat gluing, giving a satisfying build for hobbyists aiming to refine their skills. The completed model displays a compact but convincing presence that works well on a shelf or in a diorama.
