1/72 M4A3E8 (T66 Track)
Trumpeter 1/72 M4A3E8 (T66 Track) is a plastic kit of the American Sherman medium tank in its Korean War configuration. It contains 115 parts and two engine deck options. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
In the Korean War, the M4A3 tanks in action were mainly E8 versions with the HVSS horizontal volute spring suspension. These late M4A3E8s differed from the WWII version in several details: a field telephone was added to the right side of the rear plate, a first aid box on the left of the hull, and the gun mantlet was usually covered by a weather tarp. Some tanks carried colourful tiger faces painted on the front.
According to the manufacturer, the 1/72 scale kit includes all these Korean War features, among them the heavy-duty hinges of the grilled engine access doors that appeared on some tanks. Both types of E8 engine deck are supplied. The kit contains 115 parts on six sprues, and the finished model is about 98 mm long.
The manufacturer lists US Army markings. The model rounds out a collection of Korean War and Cold War armour. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
Nationality: USA. Period: Cold War.
