1/35 M4A3E2 Jumbo scale kit for armour modellers

The 1/35 scale M4A3E2, nicknamed the 'Jumbo', presents a detailed project for enthusiasts of Second World War armour. Built for close infantry support in 1944, this variant is characterised by heavier plating: hull front 101mm, hull sides 76mm and turret armour of 152mm.

Construction details and realism

The model accurately renders the Jumbo's prominent features including the hefty 75mm M3 main gun. Turret hatches are supplied so you can choose open or closed presentation. Belt-type tracks are provided for authenticity, and driver torso and commander figures are included for scale composition.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/35
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly Type: Requires Assembly
  • Includes: Driver and Commander Figures
The kit follows known Jumbo dimensions and armour thicknesses as used in 1944. It is intended to represent the reinforced hull and turret profile typical of the M4A3E2 variant.
For stronger joins on the main gun and rotating parts, pinning is recommended. Paint primer first to check fit, then assemble permanent joints prior to final finishing.
Use thin washes to emphasise panel lines, drybrushing for edge wear and pigment powders for mud and dust effects. Layering techniques give a convincing service-worn look.
