Kit summary for Italeri 96440 Sherman M4A3 Wet

The Italeri 96440 is a 1/35 scale plastic kit representing the Sherman M4A3 'Wet' as a non-moving display model, concentrating on accurate external components and the variant's distinctive stowage layout.

The M4A3 saw wide service with US forces and many production runs featured the Ford GAA V8 engine. The 'Wet' name denotes wet-stowage and modified fuel arrangements introduced to lessen the chance of fire and to protect crews under combat conditions.

Compared with earlier Sherman marks, the Wet variant displays differences in fuel drum mounting and external stowage. Builders should focus on correctly fitting turret fixtures, side storage boxes and fuel drums. Assembly follows common injection kit practices: trimming parts from sprues, removing flash, joint cleanup between hull and turret, and track preparation ahead of painting and weathering for a realistic finish.

A clear and accurate 1/35 presentation of the Sherman M4A3 'Wet' that suits modellers aiming for faithful external detail on display pieces.
