ModellTrans Modellbau has a new resin kit, a 1/72 Sherman BARV
The M4A2 Beach Armoured Recovery Vehicle (BARV) was able to operate in 2.7 metre deep water, and was used to remove vehicles that had become broken-down or swamped in the surf and were blocking access to the beaches.

Over fifty BARVs were ready on D-Day, June 6, 1944, where they proved to be quite valuable during the Normandy landings.

Here is a walkaround of a preserved one at the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers Museum

I agree, we need more options for the Barv in scales that aren't 1/35.
