Modeling the Sherman Tank in 1/72nd Scale
 
Markings of Soviet Shermans and Variants

The following table lists all markings available for building Soviet Shermans (and its variants) in World War II. Developing this list was difficult due to the lack of decent English-language reference material. Even the best source available, Comrade Emcha by C. Gillono, has contradictory information within it. In many cases, the unit information below was selected on majority rules, even though I know that some decal makers simply copy the information from others. If anyone has new information to correct what is shown below, I would appreciate you sending it to me.
