FROM THE MANUFACTURER: -

Need more firepower for your allied brick army?

Look no further than our Easy 8 tank model kit, a faithful replica of the advanced M4A3E8 variant of the Sherman tank that played a crucial role in the closing stages of World War II. Known for its enhanced armour, superior firepower, and exceptional mobility, the Easy 8 was instrumental in the Allied forces’ push across Europe. This model not only maintains accurate proportions like other Buildarmy kits but also features a detailed representation of the horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) system. With wider tracks designed to distribute weight more effectively and provide a smoother ride, the HVSS earned the tank its nickname “Easy 8” from its experimental “E8” designation.

Built upon the model of the M4 Sherman, this kit includes a detailed interior with seats, transmission, and engine compartment, accessible via a user-friendly modular design. Builders can remove part of the hull to see the internal mechanics, enhancing the educational value of the assembly. Accompanied by a coloured building instruction that starts with a brief history and photos of the tank, this sturdy kit offers a compelling building experience. The final assembled model is an aesthetic piece of art that attracts attention, whether it is displayed on a shelf or a table.

A Brief History of M4A3E8 Sherman tanks

The M4A3E8 Sherman, commonly known as the “Easy Eight,” is a famous variant of the M4 Sherman tank. It had a redesigned turret with more potent 76mm M1 main gun, 47 degree sloped front armour and full up-armoured sides. Beginning in August 1944, the M4A3 model was the first to be factory-produced with the horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) system with wider tracks to distribute weight. With the smooth ride of the HVSS, it gained the nickname “Easy Eight” from its experimental “E8” designation. From March 1944 to April 1945, a total of 4542 units were produced. It has played a vital role in the later stages of World War II, where it was utilized by American and Allied forces. It continued to serve in various conflicts and military operations worldwide, leaving an enduring mark in the annals of armoured warfare history as a versatile and effective medium tank.
