Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3(76)W Sherman Scale Model Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/48 scale model of the U.S M4A3(76)W Tank recreates a compact but detailed version of this influential WWII vehicle. Known for its 76mm M1 gun, the real tank gave crews extra firepower against heavier German armour like the Panther and Tiger.

War Service and Kit Details

On the battlefield the M4A3(76)W stood out because of its improved anti-armor performance. This kit reflects that heritage and includes the Vertical Volute Spring Suspension (VVSS) layout plus two styles of road wheels, each moulded with clear detail on both sides.

Modeling Appeal

This assembly suits modellers interested in historical armour and neat buildwork. The turret and suspension parts present good surface detail, and the components are arranged to give an enjoyable glue-and-paint build that looks great on a shelf or diorama.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Suspension: VVSS with raised return roller arms
  • Road Wheels: Two types included

How detailed are the suspension parts?

The kit reproduces the VVSS suspension with raised return roller arms and includes separate components that show detail on both sides of the road wheels.

What adhesives and paints work best?

Standard plastic cement or liquid polystyrene cement gives the best joints, and enamel or acrylic hobby paints are suitable for finishing; thin coats keep fine details visible.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

Builders with some experience will get the most from the small-scale parts, but careful preparation and patience make the kit manageable for ambitious beginners.
