Background of the Sherman Easy Eight

The Tamiya 35346 1/35 U.S. Tank M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight reproduces a notable Sherman variant that saw service in World War II and later in Korea. With its HVSS suspension and 76mm gun, the Easy Eight combined improved mobility and firepower. This kit is a solid option for modellers focused on period armour and museum-style displays.

Moulding Precision and Surface Work

Tamiya delivers detailed cast-turret texture and precise welded-hull panel lines, producing convincing scale surfaces. The rear hull presents well-modelled engine grilles and exhausts, and clear parts are used where appropriate for lenses and observation blocks.

Fitting, Tracks and Included Accessories

The belt-type tracks replicate the single-pin T66 look while simplifying fitting compared with link-by-link tracks. Drive sprockets are modelled with correct hole patterns and the supplied commander figure helps stage a believable scene.

Yes, many aftermarket manufacturers offer metal gun barrels and detail sets that are compatible with Tamiya 1/35 Shermans. Confirm the part fit for the M4A3E8 profile.
Mask clear parts before painting and avoid strong solvents. Attach them after most weathering steps to preserve clarity of lenses.
Use thin washes, light chipping with a fine brush or sponge and dry pigments for dust effects. Build weathering in layers to control the final appearance.
No stand is included, but standard display bases or diorama accessories can be added to enhance presentation. Measure the finished footprint for a tailored base.
Consult wartime photos, unit histories and specialist modelling magazines to select correct decal schemes and stencils for the M4A3E8.
