By all accounts, the M4 Sherman medium tank was regarded as the workhorse of the US Army during World War II. In fact, virtually all of the Allied armies employed the Sherman in their armed forces, including the British, who developed an upgunned variant called the "Firefly". Eleven different US plants manufactured six basic models of the Sherman, and by June 1944 over 49,234 battle-ready vehicles had been produced. While it was no match for the German Panther or Tiger tanks, the Sherman soldiered on, using its weight in numbers to wrest control of Europe from the Wehrmacht.

This particular 1:50 scale replica of a Sherman M4A2 medium tank was attached to the French Army's 3e Ptn, 4e Esc, 2e Regiment de Cuirassiers, 1e DB as they attempted to liberate France in the summer of 1944. Sold Out!

Historical Account: "On to Paris" - This M4A2 was used extensively by the French armored division during much of the fighting in Southern France following the Allied landings in Toulon and Marseilles in the late summer of 1944. The 1e DB used the tri-color national marking with a white diamond center as seen on this model. The red and blue sections were occassionally painted out when on active service leaving only the white diamond for recognition purposes.
