looks like an a2...

Can't see the Barrel...but looking at the tail...and the load on the Bustle on the turret...I'm guessing it's a VC....can't be an Ic as it is clearly a welded hull


ALPHA

it'll be a small-hatched hull with the a2 engine deck...

...similar to this one...

yes they did Canned but I think most went to Russia under lend lease...

..if you look closely at your photo you can just make out the vents that were either side of the hoods indicating this is a small hatched hull...

I kind of cheated lol....I took a look at the photo's info...said 4th New Zealand Armored Brigade
Apparently they ran several variants...I guessed the VC because the hull looks extended in your photo
Looked the Brigade up...and found they did have both the Ic and the Vc in service

I guessed the VC because the the angle of the glacis ...before looking them up...I just wanted to make sure they ran the Firefly
also because there seems to be a bump under the bustle which could be the radiator hood

I'll agree to disagree on that one Alpha...I don't think its a stretched a4 and I'm sure it aint a Firefly..

Hi I think its an M4A4 with 75mm gun , long wheel base no radio bustle . Watched a film yesterday and it was full of them.

You're the Expert Frankie ...I'm just guessing...it does look extended to me...taking in the distance and angle...to me a regular Sherman would be shorter ....the interesting thing about that Brigade and the photos I found...there were several different Variants with that Firefly style radio box on the back of the Turret....I'm not insisting it's a Firefly...Like I said..It's just a guess


ALPHA

PS. Just Disagree next time Frank....didn't say I was an expert...and I know you've built more Shermans than just about anyone on this board
