13 best models tanks

Product description

This is an all-new kit designed by Tamiya's top designers which recreates the "Easy Eight" variant of the legendary Sherman medium tank. The M4A3E8 was known fondly as the "Easy Eight" by its crews, thanks to the relatively smooth drive afforded by its Horizontal Volute Spring Suspension (HVSS). Another distinguishing feature was its 76mm gun. Some of the 2,500 examples produced were in time to appear in the Battle of the Bulge (Dec. 1944-Jan. 1945), and others even served in the Korean War years after the Allied WWII triumph. Movie buffs will no doubt also recall that the "Easy Eight" was the star of the 2014 hit film "Fury."Requires paint and assembly.

• Slide molded turret and upper hull parts give an unbeatable combination of hassle-free assembly and highly realistic detail levels. Cast metal turret and welded hull surface textures are rendered accurately.
• The rear showcases sharp, detailed molding on engine grilles and exhausts, as well as the numerous accessories depicted by the kit.
• Clear parts are used to recreate light lens and cupola vision block parts, further upping the realism of this kit.
• The single-pin T66 tracks are recreated with minimum fuss and great accuracy, by the included belt-type tracks. Drive sprockets feature fine holes.
• A commander figure in realistic pose is provided for the cupola. The periscope seen on the hatch underside is depicted using separate parts.

User questions & answers

Question:	Could someone measure how long and high this is
Answer:	It is about 3 1/4 long and 1 1/2 high
Question:	What battery,is it
Answer:	Tank's built-in battery is 3.7V 110mAh battery, and remote controller is AA battery (not included)
Question:	Does this thing have a strong pull/motors? I want to use it for a robotics project and need it to support around a pound or less
Answer:	I would be careful with anything close to a pound. With a 1-lb weight on it, it was pretty slow and had trouble turning. I suppose if you'll be removing the turret or some of the insides, it would shave off a little weight, but I wouldn't expect it to be operational with any more than a pound. It's made to work with its extremely light weight. The best of luck to you with your project!
Question:	what is the width of this tank
Answer:	Approximate length is 3.5 inches X Width of 2 inches.

Product description

This model assembly kit depicts the Korean War variant of the M4A3E8 "Easy Eight" Sherman. This kit variant includes new parts!The Sherman - reliable and available in huge numbers - was a gamechanger for the Allies in WWII, and the Easy Eight a prevalent variant most notable for its horizontal volute spring suspension (HVSS) and smooth ride. The Easy Eight's career did not end with WWII, however, as a number were refurbished and thrown back into action by a largely demobilized U.S. Army in the Korean War from 1950. They faced off against T34/85s operated by the Korean People's Army with great success, and were later often used in a supporting fire role.Requires paint and assembly.

• Highly accurate static display model.

Question:	Does it come painted or do you paint it yourself
Answer:	It comes disassembled and not painted.
Question:	Does it have Vinyl single lenth tracks
Answer:	yes it has vinyl single length tracks

Product description

The British named the M3 "General Stuart" upon receipt of the tank under the Lend-Lease program in June of 1941. The tank's ability to "shoot and scoot" as well as keeping the crew safe from small fire arms fire, earned an affectionate nickname of "Honey" by its operators. The British cavalry men liked this tank as it could travel 10 to 20 mph faster than their own or enemy tanks, and for its ease of maintenance. The M3s were designed to replace the outdated M2s. The M3 incorporated a thicker armor, lengthened hull, and a trailer idler wheel to act as another road wheel to decrease ground pressure and improve weight distribution. The M3 turret had three pistol ports and shortened recoil mechanism. It was also equipped wraith a 37mm M6 gun, which was adequate early in the war, but by 1942, the German counterparts far surpassed the range of the M3. The narrow width of the M3 could not accommodate a larger gun. The M3A1 was fitted with a Westinghouse gyrostabilizer, a turret basket and an oil gear hydraulic traverse mechanism, but lacked a turret cupola. The earlier version of the M3A1, the Stuart III, was powered by Continental W-970-9A-7 cylinder radial gas 250 Hp engine but by mid 1941, the Stuart IVs came off the production lines with Grierson T-1020 air cooled radial diesel engine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do you need to buy your own paint and glue? And if so, what type of paint and glue
Answer:	Yes, you need to buy your own paints and glues. The kit is keyed for Humbrol paints, but I used Tamiya, Testors and Vallejo paints as well as Windsor & Newton oils and water colours for weathering. I also used powdered pastel sticks for dust and dirt. For glue, I use Tamiya Extra Thin cement, Liquid Weld cement, one-use tubes of superglue, and Elmer's white glue.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the figures come with it
Answer:	No. No figures came with this tank.
Question:	Can the wheels spin, so that the tank drives
Answer:	When you get to the step of attaching the wheels you can choose to either glue or use rubber grommets (not included in kit) to attach them. This model is still the original production molds and the seams do require quite a bit of model putty to mask. This may have been a defect in the kit I purchased but can be a common issue
Question:	How heavy is this model
Answer:	Not very heavy at all. Maybe the weight of a 1/4lb cheeseburger, and that is pushing it. Kit made out of plastic and is hollow inside. Hope this helps!!
Question:	is this the same tank in the movie fury
Answer:	No, the WWII Sherman tank is the one in the movie. The M-48 tank was in Korea and Vietnam.

Eager to make use of the powerful new weapon, Hitler ordered The vehicle Be pressed into service months earlier than had planned. A platoon of four tigers went into action on 23Rd September 1942 Near Leningrad. Operating in swampy, forested terrain, their movement was largely confined to roads and tracks, making defense against them far easier. Many of these early models were plagued by problems with the transmission, which had difficulty handling The great weight of the vehicle if pushed too hard. It took time for drivers to learn how to avoid overtaxing the engine and transmission, and many broke down. The most significant event From this engagement was that one of the Tigers became stuck in swampy ground and had to be abandoned. Captured largely intact, It enabled the Soviets to study the design and prepare Countermeasures.
