Asuka 1/35 M4A3(76)W Sherman

The M4A3 (76)W version of the M4 Sherman had a redesigned upper hull, and a new turret armed with a 76mm gun, which improved its ability to fight. The "W" in the designation signifies the "wet storage" version, with ammunition being stored in boxes surrounded with water, in an attempt to lessen the chances of an explosion due to internal fires.

• Most of the model and equipment parts are new.
• Has an enlarged driver's hatch and a simple front armor plate common to the late type M4A3.
  
• Parts of the driver's hatch hinge are separate from the body, so as not to constrain the reproduction of the shape of the gradient.
  
• Rear luggage rack and exhaust deflector can reproduce both the standard and expanded storage.
  
• Reproduction of early 76mm type turret with a cupola and complex turret shape.
  
• By using a complex slide-mold, the pistol port on the 76mm gun turret has been faithfully reproduced.
  
• Includes two types of 76mm gun barrels.
  
• The cupola's vision block includes accurately reproduced transparent parts.
  
• Etched parts included for periscope guards and light guards.
