Unit Reveal: M4 Sherman

Another tank today! The Medium Tank M4 Sherman is easily the most iconic tank of the Western Allies, and one of the most commonly known armored vehicle in the world. Almost 50.000 M4s and variants were built and production only ceased in 1957. After that, it remained in active service until 2018, when Paraguay retired its last 3 vehicles!

The M4 was used by all Allies, including the Soviet Union, who received about 4000 through the Lend-Lease program, and some were even provided to Brazil after it entered the war.

Our Sherman in painted in the same muddy style as the M5 Stuart we showed a couple of days ago. It's easy to imagine it repulsing the German attack in the Battle of the Bulge or advancing through French or German countryside.

Next time, we will have some more specimen of the Sherman family!
