Welcome to this Cobi M4A3E8 Easy Eight Sherman Tank Review of set 2533.
I recently started buying more US Army vehicles from the Cobi World War 2 collection. These include the M8 Greyhound, the Sherman Firefly, and the original M4 Sherman Tank.
The unique Cobi tank track system as well as their cool and historically accurate designs make these really great functional toys and collector items.

M4A3E8 Sherman Tank
The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank, M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in World War II. The M4 Sherman proved to be reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers.
Its success led to a number of design improvements throughout the war, but none were cooler than the Easy Eight variety seen in the movie Fury!

Cobi M4A3E8 Easy Eight Sherman Tank Features
This tank has lots of cool features.
First, the turret fully rotates 360 degrees. On top of the turret a hatch opens and a mini figure fits inside to man the 0.30 Cal or the 0.50 Cal machine guns!
At the front of the hull there are 2 small hatches that open and close and mini figures can be placed in the hatches. There is also a hull munted machine gun.
At the rear of the tank, there is an engine hatch opens and closes; revealing a pretty cool looking engine.
Lots of extras come with this set including, sand bags, helmets mounted on the side of the turret, wood piles, tools, extra tracks and machine guns.
The tank tracks are the thinner Cobi tracks. While not as good as the traditional Cobi medium tank tracks, they still work well.
Overall an excellent realistic brick tank model of the iconic M4A3E8 Easy Eight Sherman Tank.
