Hobby Boss 84805 U.S M4A3 (76W) TANK (1/48) – a detailed model of an American classic

Hobby Boss 84805 U.S M4A3 (76W) TANK in 1/48 scale is a high-quality plastic model kit, perfect for World War II history enthusiasts and military vehicle collectors. The model depicts the M4A3 (76)W medium tank, a modernized variant of the legendary Sherman series used by the United States Armed Forces during World War II. The new turret with a 76mm gun significantly increased the vehicle’s firepower, making it more effective in combat against modern German tanks.

The M4A3 (76)W is a Sherman variant equipped with a reliable Ford GAA engine and improved armament. The “W” in the name indicates the use of wet ammunition storage, which reduced the risk of ammunition fires and improved crew safety. Tanks of this type fought in Normandy, during the liberation of Belgium and the Netherlands, and in the Battle of the Bulge. They were also used after the end of World War II, often as standard equipment in U.S. armored units.
