Seller's Description

CORGI US51008 1/50 M4A3E8 SHERMAN TANK "TIGER FACE" 89TH TANK BATTALION C COMPANY US ARMY KOREA -  LAST ONE HERE NOW

The E8 Sherman was nicknamed the "Easy Eight" because of the smooth ride that the new and improved HVSS suspension system gave to the tank. The Korean War came as a complete surprise to the U.S. military, catching our forces off guard and woefully short of the right equipment. World War II-vintage Shermans that had been in storage in Japan were quickly refurbished and sent to Korea with cobbled-together units. The 89th was made up of volunteers from the various U.S. units stationed in Japan. The distinctive tiger face was painted on many of the early tanks that went into combat. The thought was that they would scare the superstitious North Koreans.
M4A3E8 Sherman
The pilot model of the M4 was completed in September 1941, and the Sherman became the most widely produced tank of the war. The M4 Sherman defeated heavier tanks with superior numbers, and by using outflanking tactics to strike thinner enemy flank armor. Shermans also achieved success with progressively upgunned models and by working with tank destroyers. The Sherman tank--named by the British--was fast, maneuverable, mechanically reliable, easy to manufacture, and effective in its infantry support role. It served with the US Army and Marines during World War II, and the US transferred large numbers to the United Kingdom and allied forces of many countries.
