Re: idf 105 type?
Very difficult to tell from that angle , its the rear end and engine deck that will give the best identification .
From what little knowledge I do have of Sherman in Israeli service they used surplus stocks from the
American Government . Being as over 3,000 M4A3 (105) were produced I would say it is possible its an M4A3
However , im no expert !
Have you thought of searching for an IDF museum in Israel , sending the picture to a curator and asking the question ?.
Being proud of their fighting heritage in Armoured warfare im sure there must be one.
I have done this with other Sherman pictures linked to Regiments , I have contacted the Regiments website
and you will be surprised the wealth of information that comes back . Sorry I cant be more helpfull .

Yes there is indeed an IDF Armour Museum in Israel. It's at Latrun. Google 'Yad La-Shiryon' and you'll easily find info re. contacting them. I'm sure they will be able to help.

The tank is M4 radial engine. The Tamiya hull fit perfectly without the sponsons
