Kit #F054 - M4A3 Lower Hull - $28

* Note: This kit was not designed to be a drop fit with any specific Sherman kit. It is designed to be easily adapted to any of the many kits and aftermarket hulls for M4A3 tanks. The parts may require minimal trimming to fit a specific upper hull.

This kit is designed to detail the lower half of any M4A3 kit. It is the first accurate lower hull that we are aware of in 1/35th scale. The parts were scaled from numerous original ordnance drawings. These parts are a perfect complement to the Tamiya M4A3 kits and will replace the inaccurate parts in Dragon and Italeri M4A3 kits that have radial engine details. This hull is for use with VVSS suspensions. The suspension mounting holes are set for Tamiya parts but can be easily adjusted to other manufacturer's suspensions.
