This model assembly kit depicts the Korean War variant of the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman.
Includes new parts for this variant item!
The Sherman - dependable and available in vast 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 enormous success and were later often used in a supporting fire role.

The form of a Korean War M4A3E8 is expertly captured, with renderings of the various upgrades made to the tank.

Comes with commander and loader torso figures, plus 2 marking options including the "Rice's Red Devils" company of the 89th Tank Battalion. Parts included to create enemy field car.
