Description
Discover the intricacies of military modeling with Hobby Boss' latest offering, the M4A3E8 Sherman tank model kit. This kit is a fascinating blend of precision and challenge, featuring sharp, well-defined molding that enthusiasts will appreciate. However, it's important to note that the kit does present some challenges in terms of accuracy, with certain details and dimensions not being entirely true to the original tank's design. The hull angles and proportions, as well as the turret and suspension components, may not perfectly match historical specifications.
What sets this model apart is its exceptional attention to detail. The tracks are a highlight, provided as finely detailed black vinyl belts that add a touch of realism to the finished model. Despite the box-top art suggesting T66 tracks, the kit includes the T80E1 steel chevron type tracks, which are more fitting for Sherman tanks used during the Korean War. While it may not be the perfect Sherman model kit due to some inaccuracies, the overall detail is impressively executed, ensuring that the final product is unmistakably Sherman.
