Tamiya 35251 1/35 M4A3 Sherman 105mm Howitzer Detailed Scale Kit  [35251]

Overview of Tamiya 35251 1/35 M4A3 Sherman 105mm Howitzer

The M4A3 Sherman served a crucial role in the U.S. Army during WWII and is faithfully recreated in this 1/35 scale kit by Tamiya. The 105mm Howitzer variant provided close support on the front lines, and this model aims to deliver an engaging assembly for hobbyists and history fans who value accurate detailing.

Period Background and Kit Details

The Sherman family was valued for its versatility and reliability, and the 105mm Howitzer added artillery punch for assault and support tasks. Tamiya reproduces these traits with careful engineering, including poly-caps for adjustable gun elevation and separately moulded components for fine surface detail.

Realism and Display Quality

The kit comes with rubber-padded tracks that can be painted to match the vehicle's finish. Included figures such as infantry and a tank commander help set up dynamic dioramas, while fitted ammunition boxes and ration cases boost the historical feel of a display.

Finishing Options and Collectibility

Three decal schemes provide choice for unit marking and period variants, making the kit attractive to collectors expanding WWII armour displays. For authentic colour, model painters often use TS-5 Olive Drab to match period US service paint.
