Sherman M4A3E8 (105)

This model comes as four parts; hull, turret & tracks.

The M4A3(105) variant of the Sherman was fitted with a 105mm howitzer rather than the 75mm or 76mm gun and was used for infantry support rather than anti-armour.

It was produced from May 1944 to March 1945 and a total of 3,039 were built. They were often used in conjunction with the Zippo flamethrower versions by the United States Marine Corps against Japanese fortifications.
