Could somebody who is knowledgeable about Sherman tanks please give me some advice about appropriate 1/35 kit(s) for a beute Sherman circa Normandy or Holland 1944. I know there are multiple photos of such vehicles but I know nothing about the various types of Sherman tanks.

Not sure about Normandy, but the recent Academy M4A3 (reviewed here) comes with beute markings based on a famous photo.

Many thanks BD. I had not thought of a beute Sherman in Italy. This Academy option will be cheap, but judging by the review a rather exacting build and certainly not simply OOTB

Dragon or Asuka Firefly's will work, there are a lot of pics of beute Firefly's.
