Anyone else think that the Sherman shown here:

isn't an M4A4 ?

The wheels are too close together. There should be at least a wheel's radius between them for it to be an M4A4.

According to: http://the.shadock.free.fr/sherman_minu ... n_SNs.html it's an M4A2, which to my eyes is much more likely.

yeah...I checked a picture of a M4A4 and a M4A2 and the wheels are too close for a M4A4...so it would be a M4A2....not a bad thing ;) easier for me tu build!

Have you had any luck finding info on Canadian armour ?

I've order the Paul Roberts books on the Ram but there doesn't seem to be too much out there.

I'm also going to see if I can find the Armor Photogallery books on Canadian markings.

Long term plan is a cast hull Ram Kangaroo - but in 1/6th scale.

yeah.. I would love to build a ram, but seems like alot of work...and right now I dont really think I have the experience to do it...maybe with time! Actually I sent an email to the museum to see if they have more details about the tank...hopefully somebody will know a little something about it...
