Scale: 1/50 Length: 4.5" Width: 2.25" The M4A3 "Easy Eight" with the HVSS suspension, which made for an easier ride, was first used during the Battle of the Bulge. This tank belongs to the Company B commander, Captain James Leach, and was named Blockbuster 3D. This was the third Sherman that Leach had operated since 1944. Many "Easy Eights" were supplied with side sand skirts that were quickly removed in the field because they interfered with suspension maintenance. M4A3 ShermanThe pilot model of the M4 was completed in September 1941, and the Sherman became the most widely produced tank of the war. The M4 Sherman defeated heavier tanks with superior numbers, and by using outflanking tactics to strike thinner enemy flank armor. Sherman also achieved success with progressively up-gunned models and by working with tank destroyers. The Sherman tank--named by the British--was fast, maneuverable, mechanically reliable, easy to manufacture, and effective in its infantry support role. It served with the US Army and Marines during World War II, and the US transferred large numbers to the United Kingdom and allied forces of many countries.
