You can, but you would need to correct and add some things.
The Tamiya M4 hull has incorrect hoods and antenna mount/ pot. The hull is more like an M4A4 hull. Here's a link to an M4A2, they used the same hull front for some time as used on the M4:

Basicaly the hoods should have parallel side walls and the antenna pot should be less flat. Further the periscope indedations in the hood roof should have square narrow ends instead of rounded narrow ends.
Further you might need some british stowage boxes (Formations) and british fire extuingishers (Resicast).
Correcting the hoods is easy, cut away the hood except for the roof and rebuild with plastic plate and file to shape. Or add putty to the existing hoods, and file to shape.
Hope this helps.
best regards,
