I finally got a full crew for the Sherman.  So I decided to do a 
photo shoot.

Looking after the Commander

MEDIC!!!!!

Let the professionals take care of this....

The tank commander is from a Dragon two pack of a Major Izryk (who
served in World War) and a German.  The other guy is a figure I put
together last year.  One of the driver's is Josh Ackerman released
this year.  The other is another figure I put together.

I think a Sherman was rated with a 5 man crew, but I suspect that
they didn't always have 5 men.  A full crew was a Commander, Gunner,
Loader, Driver and Assistant Driver.  Their gun was underpowered compared
to the Germans they had to face, but they usually ended up swarming
the Germans and beating them with superior numbers.  It was a very
reliable tank though, so that made up for its shortcomings.
