U.S. Medium Tank M4A3E8 Sherman "Easy Eight" Korean War

Plastic kit from TAMIYA, for the assembly of an US tank of WW II, in 1/35 scale. Includes sprues with plastic parts, assembly instructions, vinyl tracks, figures, clear parts and decals.

The Sherman – reliable and available in huge numbers - was a gamechanger for the Allies in WWII, and the Easy Eight a prevalent variant most notable for its horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) and smooth ride. The Easy Eight's career did not end with WWII, however, as a number were refurbished and thrown back into action by a largely demobilized U.S. Army in the Korean War from 1950. They faced off against T34/85s operated by the Korean People's Army with great success, and were later often used in a supporting fire role.
