Bolt Action: M4A3E8 Sherman Easy Eight
Initially designated the M4A3(76)W HVSS but shortened to M4A3E8 (the E8denoting the HVSS suspension), this medium tank was eventually nicknamed the‘Easy Eight’ by the US soldiers who fought in and alongside them. The EasyEight boasts several improvements over earlier M4 Sherman designs, such as theHorizontal Volute Suspension System (HVSS) and wider tracks, giving it betterground performance; welded hull instead of cast, giving better protection; and76mm M1A2 main gun, putting it on par with the German 75mm guns.
The first Easy Eights were introduced in December 1944, just in time to seeaction in the Battle of the Bulge. Though the potency of its main gun threatenedthe Axis medium tanks, it still needed to target the rear armour on heavierGerman vehicles.
Over 2,500 Easy Eights were produced during the Second World War, and thedesign proved successful enough to see it continue to fight during the KoreanWar and even into the Vietnam conflict.
Includes one plastic ‘Easy Eight’ medium tank, Bolt Action stat card,Bolt Action Order Dice, assembly guide, full-colour waterslide decal sheet forUS and Canadian vehicles and vehicle damage markers.
