1/35 Scale Academy M4A3(76)W Sherman Tank "Battle of Bulge" Model Kit 13500

Build an authentic replica of the legendary M4A3(76)W Sherman tank as it appeared during the pivotal Battle of the Bulge with this highly detailed 1/35 scale Academy tank model kit. This kit features newly-tooled parts that capture the late-war configuration of America's most iconic World War II medium tank.

Historical Significance:

The M4A3(76)W Sherman played a crucial role during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944-January 1945, Germany's last major offensive on the Western Front. The 76mm high-velocity gun gave American tank crews improved firepower against German armor, while the VVSS (Vertical Volute Spring Suspension) and winterized features helped crews operate in the brutal Ardennes winter conditions.

Key Features:

  • WWII U.S. Army main battle tank in Battle of Bulge configuration
  • Newly tooled parts including engine deck and late version VVSS suspension
  • Accurately reproduced 76mm M1A1 high-velocity main gun
  • Detailed 12.7mm (.50 caliber) Browning M2 machine gun
  • Authentic T48 "Duckbill" extended end connectors for improved traction in snow and mud
  • Premium photo-etched parts for enhanced detail and realism
  • Six marking options representing different units during the Battle of the Bulge
  • Detailed crew hatches, periscopes, and vision blocks
  • Authentic winter camouflage schemes and tactical markings
  • Academy Models precision engineering and excellent fit

T48 Duckbill Tracks:

The included T48 extended end connectors, nicknamed "Duckbills," were field modifications that widened the track footprint to reduce ground pressure in snow and mud. These were essential equipment during the winter fighting in the Ardennes, helping Sherman tanks maintain mobility in challenging terrain.

Enhance Your Build:

Complete your M4A3(76)W Sherman with complementary products from MPM Hobbies. Compare this Academy kit with the 1/35 Meng M4A3(76)W Sherman for different build approaches, or add photo-etch detail sets to further enhance the already-included photo-etched parts for maximum realism.
