After many years of delays on procrastination I have finally completed the third platoon for my Mid-war US armored company for Flames of War. I bought these several years ago from a local gamer. They were already assembled and had a basic paint job but I really wanted to repaint them in a camo scheme. The problem was I really didn't need these tanks. I already have 10 painted M4A1 tanks for this army and I don't think I have ever used all of them in a game so these just sat in the army box unloved and unfinished. Every time I pulled the army out for a game I would tell myself that needed to finished these up but I never did - until now.
These tanks are painted to represent tanks from the 1st Armored division in Tunisia in 1943. They will also easily work in Sicily or Italy all the way to the end of the war. I really like how these turned out and I can see these might be the center piece of the army from now on. With the new army construction with v4 I might actually need 15 Shermans. Time will tell. These are Plastic Soldier Company models and they are my favorite version of this tank in 15mm.
