During the Korean conflict, the M4A3 medium tanks that took part were mainly the E8 version with the HVSS (horizontal volute spring suspension) system. Some were colorfully marked and had tiger faces in various forms painted on the vehicle's front. These late M4A3E8 had some differences when compared to the WW2 version. A field telephone was added to the right side of the rear plate and a first aid kit box was on the hull's left. At this stage, most of the M4s had added a weather tarp to the gun mantlet. Since the hinges of the heavy grilled engine access doors were too easy to damage, new and heavy-duty hinges were introduced to M4A3s, and this also appeared on some Korean conflict versions of M4A3E8. The kit contains all these features of the Korean Conflict M4A3E8. Both kinds of E8-version engine decks are supplied.
