About the Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M4A3 Sherman Model

The Tamiya 1/35 U.S. M4A3 Sherman model provides a faithful miniature of a widely used WWII tank. The kit focuses on precise scale proportions and historically recognisable features that appeal to dedicated model builders and display collectors.

Historical features reproduced in scale

This M4A3 Sherman model captures the welded hull profile and the cast turret fitted with a 75mm gun in 1/35 scale. The parts reflect those original characteristics, and the fitted single motor gearbox allows simple forward motion for added realism.

Assembly experience and finishing options

Construction is designed to provide a rewarding modelling experience with well-proportioned components. The set includes commander and driver torso figures and provides three decal marking sets for varied finishing choices.

What scale detail should I expect on the exterior?

The exterior presents good surface detail for 1/35 scale, including turret and hull contours. Small fittings are present but may require careful painting to highlight them.

How are the decals applied?

Apply decals over a gloss base, use decal setting solution if needed, then seal with a clear coat. Allow decals to fully dry before weathering or handling.

Is the motorised unit reliable for static displays?

The single motor gearbox is designed for light forward motion suitable for display. It is not intended for strenuous use but performs well for gentle movement on flat surfaces.

Where can I source replacement parts?

Spare parts and aftermarket upgrades can be found through specialist hobby retailers and online model parts suppliers that stock Tamiya-compatible components.
