Tamiya - 1/35 Sherman Tank M4A3E8 (appropriate for my second Tamiya build)???
Posted by davefr on Thursday, February 8, 2024 12:53 PM

Fellas,

I'm just an intermediate modeler and finished my first Tamiya brand model which was the 1/35 Jeep and it really turned out really nice. I was impressed with Tamiya's fit and finish and especially the absence of aggravation!

I want to build another Tamiya model and am considering the 1/35 Sherman Tank M4A3E8. I want a kit that has a decent amount of work/challenge but prefer to avoid aggravation.  Is this a good choice?  I also want to avoid having to replicate a camoflauge color scheme.  Anything else I should be looking at? 

Thanks

Yes,the new tool Tamiya kit is very nice to build,there is a Tasca/Tamiya rebox of the Easy 8,not a bad kit,but more complicated.But you cant go wrong with the new tool Tamiya kit.

As Tojo said shouldn't be too hard. 

And if you encounter any problems just put her aside for a little bit. Slow and steady wins the race. 

If you have any big issues I'm sure someone here can give you help. 

 

Good luck!!!
