About the Author: Steven J.
Used in every theater in which the Allies operated, the Sherman employed differing camouflage and was affected by a variety of different weathering and color schemes and weathering techniques which are examined and illustrated with lavish full color step-by-step photographs.
Steven J Zaloga, an expert armor modeller, takes on the Sherman Tank in this book, providing a guide to four variants across a range of skill levels.
Not only were large numbers of Shermans manufactured, but a large number of variants emerged, powered by different types of engines and with different types of hulls, turrets and other details, making it an ideal subject for any modeller.
