I would like to know if i could build the new tarawa m4a2 sherman as a russian lend lease tank. I know that they had the early sherman but i cant find any books or pics that look like the tarawa version? , i have just finished build dragons m4a2 76mm, so i would like to make one more russian shermie.

Yes, these tanks were supplied to the Soviet Union. The kit depicts an M4A2 with the Fisher Body hull (which had welded rather than cast drivers' hoods). You could also build it as a Free French vehicle with the appropriate decals.
