Old Tamiya M4A3 Sherman kit. Markings and welded on additional armor plates
Posted by Rob358 on Sunday, December 1, 2019 5:58 PM

I'm building the old Tamiya 1/35 M4A3 Sherman. I only have the Japanese directions. Any idea if markings are accurate and which ones I should use? Also, should I utilize the additional welded armor plates that are included?

thanks,

Rob

The markings are mostly accurate, aside from the wolf head should be mirrroed where both face forward. Pick whichever markings you prefer.

Do not use the add on armor plates, those were only used on the M4A2 75mm large hatch hulls, not the M4A3 75mm large hatch hull.
