Shermans, when and where?

[Fenlander]

I have three sherman kits knocking about, one of which is Korea but the other two are the standard M4A3 and the M4A3 (76)W. I thought I might include one in the Normandy stuff but there is no info with the kits as to the period. How do I know when they were in service? Wikipedia has let me down a bit as it just list the types but not the period.

Anyone have any info?

Back at the banch, John

Yes me too, but I just didn't want to upset you Graham!

However, in the true modelling spirit, I'm sure you will overcome this 'Minor inconvenience' lol
