“The tank was originally invented to clear a way for the infantry in the teeth of machine-gun fire. Now it is the infantry who will have to clear a way for the tanks.”

Summary
The M4 Sherman, officially Medium Tank M4, was the most widely used medium tank by the United States and Western Allies in WW2. The Sherman was reliable, relatively cheap to produce, and available in great numbers. The tank was named by the British after General William Tecumseh Sherman.
This was my first attempt at the “full picture” tank, i.e. producing a decent weathering job. Weathering is a tricky balance, it’s easy, but also easy to overdo.
