Normandy Sherman Variants

For stukabomb’s modified sherman group build, I have a hedgerow cutter conversion kit for Tamiya Sherman. Which were the Sherman Variants at Normandy? Don’t want to mess up history. Thanks.

M4, M4A1 (75), DD Shermans, and I think there were several Firefly types.

thanks for the info rob…

The Americans used almost exclusively M4 and M4A1’s to cut down on supply problems early on. I don’t know what the other allies brought ashore early.

The M4A1 (76mm) wasn’t used at D-Day, but by the time the Cullin hedgerow cutters were in use I believe they were in service. If I remember right one of the two decal options in the Italeri kit is for an Operation Cobra tank.

[Edit] Just noticed you mentioned the Tamiya kit, which doesn’t build a 76mm, so never mind. [D)]
