Tamiya 35346 Classic 1/35 M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight Military Model Kit  [35346]

Heritage of the M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight

The Tamiya 35346 1/35 U.S. Tank M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight kit recreates a battlefield-proven vehicle used in World War II and the Korean War. Noted for its Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) and the 76mm main gun, the Easy Eight offered crews improved ride and firepower. This scale kit appeals to hobbyists seeking an accurate historical subject, also recognised by appearances in films such as "Fury".

Scale Accuracy and Surface Detail

Tamiya shows meticulous moulding with convincing cast turret texture and welded hull panels, yielding an authentic finish straight from the sprues. The rear engine bay features finely modelled grilles and exhausts, while clear parts represent lights and vision blocks for realism in close-up displays.

Build Notes and Track Construction

The kit uses belt-type tracks that emulate the single-pin T66 pattern, making layout and fit straightforward without sacrificing scale look. Drive sprockets include accurate perforations, and a commander figure is supplied to add life to completed displays.
