While the standard Sherman carried a 75mm gun optimized for anti-tank work, the M4A3 (105) took a different role on the battlefield — close infantry support. Armed with a 105mm howitzer, this variant delivered devastating fire support to advancing troops and became a vital part of U.S. armored doctrine in the final years of World War II. Tamiya's 1/35 rendition captures every detail of this distinctive Sherman variant with the accuracy and buildability the brand is known for.
The kit features a realistically reproduced turret housing the 105mm howitzer, open or closed hatch options throughout, and four infantry figures to bring your build to life. Three decal schemes give you flexibility in how you finish the model.
