US M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight, WWII Medium Tank Late USUALLY £169.99. TEMPORARILY SAVE 1/3RD!!
Sherman "Easy Eight" with detail up set.
Tank, Medium, M4, to use the official US Army Ordnance Department nomenclature, underpinned American armoured forces during the Second World War and the Korean War, and is regarded as one of the most important military vehicles ever made. Better known as the "General Sherman", or simply "Sherman", more than 49,200 of all versions were built between 1942 and 1945, a greater number than any other AFV. To produce this volume of tanks, manufacture was subcontracted to no fewer than ten locomotive and automobile works in the United States. The Sherman saw action on all war fronts, and significant numbers were provided under the Lend-Lease aid programme to British, French and Soviet armed forces. The M4 was named "Sherman" by the British after the American Civil War general W T Sherman, a practice adopted for US tanks delivered under Lend-Lease to Britain.
In its final form the M4 was classified M4A3E8 in testing (Model four, Advanced three, Enhancement eight), and featured new horizontally-mounted suspension (HVSS), wider track, bigger main gun (76mm) and improved protection. In the contemporary US phonetic alphabet, the letter "E" was represented by "Easy" which led to the tank's nickname "Easy Eight". Sherman production ended in June 1945 after more than 8,500 "Easy Eights" in various configurations had been built.
30 sprues, upper & lower hull, turret, individual track links.
Detail up set contains resin figure and over 80 photo-etch parts. L: 467mm, W: 178.6mm. Total parts 2300+

Here are some books and decals you might find useful for this kit
Sandbagged Shermans of the 14th Armored Division. A very large set of decals covering well-known sandbagged M4s on the ETO, practised particularly by the 14th AD. A number of the sandbagged M4s were of the long-gun variety, mostly M4A3E8 "Easy-eights" and M4A3 (76) W. While a number were void of markings other than the stars there were several that had their bumper codes stenciled onto the barrel itself. The stencils were larger than the usual bumper code types and have a unique style that hasn't been replicated (in fidelity) in 1/16. This set attempts to capture all the known styles used by the 25th and 47th Tank Battalions down to the finer details. 6 specific vehicles are featured in this set, 5 had their barrels coded (you can find the references on the internet and in books with ease).
