Friend of the site Bill A, has put together a very nice M4 composite hull Sherman, based on the Tank his father operated in WWII. Bill Dad served with the 44th Tank Battalion in the Philipines when we took them back late in WWII. This kit is Dragon #6441, and I think Dragon makes a very nice Sherman for the price.
Really nice build Bill! My only comment other than you did a great job with the kit, would be, its just to darn clean! In real life, they tended to get real weathered, your looks like it rolled off the showroom floor!
Here are a few more shots of the M4 Composite in action.

you need to make it with a destroyed tiger next to it.
I just got into modeling again after 25 years. I found that at this age I was interested in armor. I started with the M4 Sherman (black magic) variant. I would like help with a thought experiment. How could today’s technology improve upon the Sherman to make it the most advanced and even possibly dangerous again. How would it look and what materials would be used? Impractical as it may be to do, I am interested because I have developed some form of attachment to the Sherman being American.
same my grandpa was a sherman gunner.saw action in france north africa and germany.
