1951 M4A3E8 Sherman Tiger Face Tank – Dragon Models 1:72: Scale, Subject & Display Guide
Rather than repeating the catalog description for 1951 M4A3E8 Sherman Tiger Face Tank – Dragon Models 1:72, this guide turns the scale model tanks listing into a decision record. It explains how the Dragon Models item is identified, how the available evidence should be read, and where confirmation is still required.

This item is best cataloged under its full name and F977-63152. The scale marker 1:72 is part of the exact identity and should be matched before purchase. The year 1951 belongs to the listing identity; it should not automatically be treated as the manufacturing date of the item. That combination protects against accidental substitutions when related products share a subject, color, scale or series.
Evidence taken from the live record
The product page identifies the item this way: “U.S. M4A3E8 Sherman “Tiger Face” tank of the 24th Infantry Division in Korea in 1951 from Dragon Models NEO Dragon Armor. This 1:72 scale plastic military model is intended for collector display. Review the listing photos for the exact markings, configuration and packaging. Item: 63152.” That excerpt anchors the guide, while the gallery, SKU and selected variant provide the remaining evidence needed for an exact match.
What matters for this kind of product
For a diecast or scale collectible, the subject name alone is insufficient. Compare body casting, finish, graphics, wheel design, interior, base markings and packaging format. On 1951 M4A3E8 Sherman Tiger Face Tank – Dragon Models 1:72, the exact photo set and SKU F977-63152 are the reference pair; a model with the same vehicle name but a different wheel, road number or package is a different release.
Condition language must also match the format. A loose item is judged from the photographed surfaces and axles, while a packaged item adds card, blister, box and seal condition. A finished custom should be assessed for workmanship and disclosed modifications; a build kit should be assessed for included parts and fitment rather than as a completed collectible.
A closer project or collection check
A good collection note records what is visible and avoids unsupported rarity claims. Write down the exact color wording, graphics, wheel treatment, package condition and any disclosed customization. Market value can change; the product identity should remain reproducible from the record.
Upon arrival, compare the item with the listing images before opening or altering it. Any material discrepancy is easier to document while the original packaging and shipping materials remain intact.
What to inspect in the product images
The gallery contains 3 indexed product images. Compare label text, package shape, visible contents, finish and any small identifying marks with the delivered item. A context image can show tools or related products that are not included, so the written record and selected option still control package contents.
A disciplined final review
- Match the full title and F977-63152.
- Confirm the selected variant and displayed quantity.
- Review the exact image set for the distinguishing details named above.
- Resolve every missing fit, scale, material or compatibility point from current instructions.
- Check live price and availability immediately before ordering.
