Sherman tank disembarking at Anzio[edit]

M4 Sherman disembarking at Anzio, Italy, during the Western Allied campaign during World War II

I have been looking for images of tanks to be featured on Portal:Tank, and honestly it's difficult to find a good picture. I found this one by "accident"; it was suggested through a conversation going on on Talk:Tank, and I thought it had excellent EV and was large enough to be worked on. Learning my lesson with two failed FPs, I decided to take this to peer review first, to get what people thought. This is an image of a M4 Sherman disembarking from a Landing Ship, Tank; it has EV value for the landings at Anzio, the M4 Sherman tank and the LST.

  • It does have brilliant EV, but it needs some restoration work before FP nomination; I'm thinking mainly of the dust (e.g. near the top of the door out of the ship). It would also need to be in some articles! The composition isn't quite perfect - to me it feels cut off on the left - but I think it could succeed at FP with the dust removal and certainly at VP even without the dust removal once it's been in a few articles for a month.
