The M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" tank was introduced at the end of World War II and fully demonstrated its combat capabilities during the Korean conflict, fighting from 1950 to 1953.

It was equipped with a powerful 76 mm M1 gun, significantly enhancing its effectiveness against armored targets.

The kit includes rubber tracks for gluing, decals for producing four different paint schemes, and a detailed color instruction sheet for maximum realism.
