1/72 M4A3(76)W Sherman

Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

The venerable Sherman tank was the backbone of the US forces in WWII, and was also supplied in great numbers to the rest of the Allies. Often outgunned and out-armored, it prevailed on the battlefield thanks to strategy and sheer numbers. Many variations appeared throughout the course of the war and beyond, with Shermans serving around the world decades after the war finished. This kit depicts the M4A3 76mm gun version of this great iconic tank.

Trumpeter’s new M4A3 76mm gun tank is a bit of a mixed bag, combining decent, sharp molding with some very simplified, inaccurate, or just plain missing detail. The hull lift rings are molded as solid slabs of plastic, and brush guards are not included at all. Other than that, detail is fairly sharp. Several options for the suspension: you can choose between pressed dish-style road wheels or six-spoked pressed steel wheels with separate suspension trucks, or pressed dish-style wheels already molded onto the trucks as a single part for super-simplified assembly. Tracks are provided as reasonably detailed black vinyl belts. Includes choice of .30 or .50 cal. cupola-mounted machine gun and decals for one vehicle.
