If you want to expand the options a bit from "tank" to "armoured vehicle," I'll play devil's advocate and suggest the Tamiya Greyhound! A wunnerful, wunnerful kit!
It's such an attractive little thing, and it falls together. Remember that the vast majority of vehicles in the armies of this period were not tanks.
An alternative suggestion would be the Tamiya 2 /12 ton 6x6 truck -- the one vehicle, more than any other, that defeated the Nazis in WWII! Now this is a truly SUPERB model. What a beautiful kit!
Or hell just do a Sherman. Enjoy.
