1:35 US Sherman M4A3 105mm Howi., plastic model kit

This 1:35 plastic model kit recreates the US Sherman M4A3 105mm Howi. as a late-production WWII tank with the broad stance, cast turret and welded hull that define this version. At 172 mm long and 76 mm wide, the finished build has a compact display footprint while still leaving room for crisp surface detail across the hull, turret and running gear. The 105 mm howitzer gives the turret a different character from standard gun-tank variants, and the smooth cast form is matched by hatch details that can be built open or closed. That choice changes the look of the finished vehicle and works naturally with the included crew figures. Two kinds of road wheels and sprockets are provided, allowing the lower hull to be finished with one of 2 running-gear combinations. Rubber padded tracks complete the suspension area with a distinct texture that responds well to painting and weathering. Three types of decals are included for marking options on the completed tank. The set also brings in 3 infantrymen and 1 tank commander in realistic poses, plus field accessories such as ammunition boxes, ration boxes and a tripod. These parts support display scenes that place the Sherman in motion, at a halt with accompanying troops, or as the centrepiece of a broader WWII diorama. Assembly time is stated as 600 minutes.
