"Superb kit of iconic American tank"
rockykeele (Tucson, AZ)
What an outstanding kit! Most Tamiya kits are very good, but this kit tops even their usual high quality. I really enjoyed the chance to construct the lower hull from multiple parts. This is not one of those kits where the entire lower hull is a single molded piece - you get to build it. There is also plenty to do building up the suspension and wheels. The turret features a vertically movable main gun that will hold its position where you place it. The commander's cupola has clear view ports, which I have not seen on other Tamiya kits. There is a half figure of the tank commander that is posed in a realistic position. All hatches can be modeled open or closed. The vinyl tracks are pretty good. Regular plastic model cement works with them, so it is much better than the older style where you have to melt pins to keep the ends together. Tamiya gives you their standard great set of tools and accessories to decorate the tank, including shovel, ax, crowbar, spare fuel cans, extra track links, etc. Part fit is great throughout the entire model - I didn't have to use putty anywhere. There are only a few decals; stars for the turret, sides and front depending on which of the two version you choose to build. All the decals went down fine with a bit of decal setting solution. Overall, this kit was straight forward to build, was high quality and was great looking once finished. I highly recommend it.

"1/35 Tamiya Sherman Easy Eight European Theater"
Christopher A. Wing (Fresno, CA)
The 1/35 Sherman Easy Eight from Tamiya is highly recommended for novice model builders, due to it having a slide molded barrel and vinyl tracks. The tank commander figure is highly detailed. Cuppola viewing windows are clear plastic molded parts. Bolt detail on the running gear is crisp. The kit is a 2015 release with high quality precision molded parts that fit together without any problems. Due to the monotone olive drab scheme, painting is not complicated. With careful attention to the instructions, an accurate replica of this late war era Sherman can be made.

 
"Perfect for anyone"
srpullen10
Love this model. I've gotta get some of the allies bag set from tamiya. You need that to really make a great product. But it's also perfect the way it is. No flash basically fell together with no problems. I'd love some other tracks for it but that's just me. I'll get another sometime later for a diaroma. Great kit.

 
"Easy 8 was just that, Easy to build."
JRB (Burleson, Texas)
This is a very well molded kit with excellent fit. I really enjoyed building this tank. Everything was as it should be and the Commander with his infantry is a nice touch. This E8 tank was a very different tank from its predecessor in that the suspension made it ride Easy. This is well shown in this kit. The wheels and tracks went together well and work as designed. All in all, a very nice model. I would recommend this kit to anyone that enjoys mechanical wartime hardware and history. I am now hooked on tanks. Next tank model please !
