1:35 US Med. Sherman M4A3E8 Easy 8 (4) Tamiya 25175 300025175

Following on from Item 25174 is this 1/35 scale model of the M4A3E8 Sherman “Easy Eight” which was also originally released by the Japanese outfit Asuka (also known as Tasca) Model, in 2010. It too is packaged together with Tamiya figures and ready to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day operations. The M4 Sherman is one of the truly iconic tanks of WWII, used by the U.S. and other Allied countries and undergoing numerous revolutions in order to stay competitive with its formidable German rivals. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the “Easy Eight”, and featured such upgrades as Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) and a M4A3 76 mm gun. Some of the 2,500 produced even served in the Korean War years after the Allied triumph in WWII.
