M4A3 SHERMAN US “THUNDERBOLT IV” BELGIUM 1944 (AFVs of WWII). By all accounts, the M4 Sherman medium tank was considered the workhorse of the US Army during World War II. In fact, virtually all Allied armies used the Sherman in their armed forces, including the British, who developed an improved variant called the “Firefly.” Eleven different American factories manufactured six basic models of the Sherman, and by June 1944, more than 49,234 combat-ready vehicles had been produced. While it was no match for the German Panther or Tiger tanks, the Sherman persevered, using its weight in numbers to wrest control of Europe from the Wehrmacht. This particular 1:43 scale replica of an American M4A3 Sherman medium tank was commanded by Creighton Abrams and nicknamed “Thunderbolt,” which was attached to the 37th Tank Battalion, 4th Armored Division, and then deployed to Bastogne in December 1944.
