Hiya all,

have always had a love for the venerable Sherman and finally I am taking the plunge and gonna dive into the world of the Sherman. Just thought I would ask you fine chaps what would be good reference material that covers the particulars of each variant and doesn't break the bank to obtain


thanks guys

Meh everyone and their granny builds those I hope to continue my M4A3 progress soon, it's not as easy as the abundantly available Tiger stuff but hey the result will be that much more beautiful.
