1 Vehicle
1 Crew
Metal Resin
Requires Assembly
This product is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints not included.
As well as the new gun, the 76mm version also had wet storage ammunition stowage to reduce fire hazards. Later models also used Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS) and were designed to replace the vertical volute with tougher horizontal springs.
In Korea, the ‘Easy Eight’ would be involved in nearly half of all tank on tank engagements with enemy armour. Between July and November 1950, the Sherman reportedly destroyed 41 enemy tanks. The main battle tank of the KPA, the T34/85, was comparable in power to the 'Easy Eight', but due to superior ammunition and crew training, the Sherman would more often than not come out on top. During the latter stages of the war, it became the preferred US Battle tank, owing to higher mechanical reliability than the M26 Pershing.
The 'Easy Eight' remained in US service until 1957, although it still saw widespread use on foreign soil. In fact, the Israeli Defence force continued to use the tank into the 1980s.
