Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3(76)W Sherman Small Scale Overview

The Hobby Boss 1/48 model of the U.S M4A3(76)W Sherman delivers a tidy, accurate miniature of a WWII workhorse. The 76mm M1 gun improved anti-armor performance and is a defining feature of this variant.

Service Background and Kit Composition

During WWII the M4A3(76)W was valued for its enhanced firepower against heavier German tanks. This kit mirrors those practical upgrades and includes the VVSS arrangement plus two distinct road wheel types, all showing careful mould detail.

Modeling Appeal

Ideal for hobbyists who enjoy compact armour projects, the kit balances fine surface detail with manageable assembly steps. The turret and suspension parts make a convincing scale representation for cabinets or small displays.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Suspension: VVSS with raised return roller arms
  • Road Wheels: Two types included

Is painting required out of the box?

Parts are supplied unpainted, so the model needs priming and painting to match historic liveries or custom schemes.

How complex is the build for this scale?

At 1/48 scale the components are small but clearly defined; careful handling and tweezers help, but the build is straightforward for modellers with basic skills.

Can I add crew figures to the kit?

Crew figures in 1/48 scale are available from many manufacturers and can be added to enhance diorama scenes or open hatches.
