So, where where M4a4 shermans used??? I believe that is the model of the 21st/Fov ones right? The only thing I can think of is british sherman Vs where pretty close.
I am converting my FOV sherman to a Brit MKII. I think it is the MKII.

Re: M4a4
I believe it's a Sherman V. And as far as I know the UK was pretty much the only user of the M4A4, with us using most the M4, M4A1, and M4A3, and the USSR getting most the M4A2s. I am no shermaholic, but I think I am right. Anyone want to verify?

Re: M4a4
I figured... Basically unless you buy one of PHs M4a1s or get a M4a3 on ebay your SOL for US armor. lol

Re: M4a4
The original 21st Sherman was an M4, not an M4A4. The FOV version, I'm not sure since I've never purchased one.

Re: M4a4
If you can find one for a decent price, I'd suggest get one. It's actually a very good and historically accurate mold, considering it's one of the first vehicles that 21st produced.
Re: M4a4
I haven't seen the FOV 1/32 Sherman in awhile but I believe it was an early M4A3 simuler to their 1/18 but with an earlier turret. The M4A3 was only used by US Army.
The 21st iis a M4 again like the 1/18 XD. The British did use the M4. 21st made a British Firefly from their M4.
It would be designated a MK IC
British models and their US counterparts:
Mk I = M4 radial engine
Mk II = M4A1 radial engine
Mk III = M4A2 deisel engine
Mk IV = M4A3 Ford V8
Mk V = M4A4 Chrysler multibank
British Tank main gun:
A = 75mm
B = 76mm
C = 77mm firefky
D = 105mm
