M4A3E8 Sherman 'Easy Eight' by Tamiya in 1/48

The Sherman played a central role in Allied armour, and the M4A3E8 introduced important improvements from combat experience. The 'Easy Eight' combined a 76mm gun with HVSS suspension and wider tracks to enhance cross-country handling. It saw frontline use during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944, helping Allied forces in the push around Bastogne.

Model Construction

This Tamiya 1/48 kit reproduces the Easy Eight's silhouette and mechanical changes, offering a satisfying build that highlights the variant's engineering updates. Finished models suit shelf display or incorporation into small-scale scenes.

Build Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Polystyrene
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Tamiya Color paints recommended
Completion time varies with skill and finish level. A straightforward build with basic paint can take several evenings, while detailed weathering and diorama work will add more hours.
Small repairs can usually be done with plastic cement or superglue. For missing or damaged pieces, check with suppliers or Tamiya support for spare parts guidance.
Other 1/48 vehicles and figures match scale perfectly for cohesive displays. Alternatively, compare to 1/35 for larger dioramas but be mindful of size differences.
Use layered washes and drybrushing to bring out depth on tracks and suspension. A dusty basecoat with metallic highlights gives a convincing worn effect.
