Lead Your Mini Armour with the Tamiya M4A3 Sherman

Step into scale warfare with Tamiya's 1/35 representation of the U.S. Medium Tank M4A3 Sherman. This kit recreates the well known M4A3 variant and references the Ford GAA V8 powerplant that defined the chassis, offering a hands-on modelling project that blends historical reference with functioning RC features.

Scale Accuracy and Running Gear Detail

The model captures fine details from weld marks to the sag of the assembly type tracks, giving the finished build a realistic stance. Motion features include turret rotation and gun elevation controlled by the MC-07 unit and TTU-10 transmitter to replicate authentic tank behaviour.

Assembly Advice for New Builders and Veterans

Assembly type tracks are engineered for simple fit-up, making track construction less fiddly while retaining a convincing look. Follow the step-by-step instructions carefully and use quality cement and paints to lift the finished appearance.

Drive Modes and Control Response

This M4A3 kit provides four selectable speed settings to tailor driving style, with forward, reverse and tight turning capability. Dual drive motors plus two turret motors deliver smooth, predictable operation during manoeuvres.

For model builders who value historical detail and engaging RC function, the Tamiya M4A3 Sherman kit balances accurate scale work with reliable driven performance, making it a strong addition to any collection.
