US Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman ''Easy Eight''

Good kit. Almost everything fit together perfectly. some of the smaller parts get a little tricky but overall they fall into place nicely. Be prepared to drill out 4 holes that are not molded into the plastic for the front mantlet lift hooks.

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 !

THIS BY FAR IS THE BEST M4 SHERMAN THAT TAMIYA HAS DONE. EVEN THE BODIES AND WHEELS WERE STRONG AND VERY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER. I TOOK AN ITALERI (FURY) TANK PIECES AND USED THEM ON THE TAMIYA EASY 8. WHY?? BECAUSE THE ITALERI WAS ALL WRONG. PLUS PARTS WERE NOT MADE WELL OR CORRECT TO THE TANK USED ON THE MOVIE FURY. SO I TOOK A TAMIYA EASY 8 AND TURNED IT INTO THE FURY REPLICA FROM THE MOVIE. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WILL BUILD NO MORE ITALERI MODELS..TAMIYA IS THE BEST HANDS DOWN. I WATCHED THE MOVIE 5 TIMES AND DID THE CLOSEST I COULD COME TO REPLICATING THE FURY TANK. I PRETTY MUCH JUST USED A MACHINE GUN MOUNT, GERMAN HELMET WITH GAS MASK, TRACKS FROM THE ITALERI TANK. I WISH TAMIYA WOULD DO ANOTHER FURY TANK. I THINK THEY DID BACK IN 2015 BUT DISCONTINUED. SO, I DID IT THE OTHER WAY..LOL WELL WORTH THE TIME AND MONEY.
