US M4A3E8 TANK "KOREAN WAR" - During the Korean conflict, the M4A3 medium tanks were mainly the E8 version with a HVSS horizontal volute spring suspension system. Some were colorfully marked and had tiger faces in various forms painted on the 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 on the hulls left. At this stage most of the M4s had added a weather tarp on the gun mantle. Since the hinges of the heavy grilled engine access doors were too easy to get damage, new and heavy duty hinges were introduced to M4A3s and this also appeared on some Korean conflict version M4A3E8. The kit contains all these features of the Korean conflict M4A3E8. Both kinds of E8 version engine decks are supplied.
