- Welcome back to "Sherman School," where we're learning all the best ways to identify the nearly two-dozen variants of the iconic American M4 Sherman Medium Tank that served in every theater of WWII… and beyond!
In this fourth installment of "Sherman School," we'll carry on with our discussion of the various engines that powered the Sherman; specifically, we'll discover what crucial clues we can spot on the outside of this famous vehicle that'll tell us exactly which variant of the Sherman we're looking at in reference images, archival footage, movies & more.
If you'd like to pick up one of my Sherman Spotter's Guide or Sherman Data Sheet posters to follow along at home, you can do so right here: spruesnbrews-scale-modeling1....

Good talk. I would like to mention that there was factory variation in the M4 rear hull plate. Some factories (Baldwin and Pressed Steel) welded the plate vertically, while others (Detroit, Alco and Pullman) had it at a slight angle.
Too funny. The elementary school I went to was called Sherman Elementary School (named after a former local school superintendent and not the US general) but we all called it Sherman School so the title of this series caught my attention.
another way to distinguish between m4a2's and m4a3's is by looking at the angle of the rear plate. the m4a3's rear plate is sloped at a much greater angle than the m4a2
Hey Hank, very informative and interesting series, I hope you will continue it👍 I often wondered what the exact differences were, and now I am getting smarter😁👍
Great video, sherman school, yahoo.
I have a number of variouse M4 model kits yet to build. I have built Tamiya standard M4 and a Dragon M4A2. I pulled all my unbuilt kits out of the stash to look at kit parts while watching the video. So cool. Your inspiring me to get back to armor building.
Thanks Hank, cant wait for the next installment of Sherman school.
Another great class, always look forward to your videos. Thank you!
thank you Hank. fascinating stuff.
I love these Hank, very informative!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great Video/Class - Will you by chance be talking about the differences between the WWII Sherman and the Korean War Sherman?
Really enjoying this series. I admit often being confused on the multiple variant’s.
I have a couple of shermans to build,italeri ,fury,which I think was a easy eight, and a ryfield models firefly vc,which do you think was the best sherman version.
When is part 5 coming out. These are awesome.
I’m so glad to hear it - thanks! Series will pick up again after the D-Day anniversary in the coming weeks
Beware of the M4 with the 105mm gun as it has a unique ''large hatch'' welded hull wich was not used for the75 and 76 mm tanks as it has no cut out but a straight lower edge on the upper rear plate.
