Default Mantlet & Turret different!

Hanno,the mantlett stuck out a little farther than the 75MM as on the M4A1 mantlett,plus I noticed the turret itself was also not the same as the M4A1.But the gun itself reminded me at once of the Firefly.Perhaps someone in Kingston can go out & get a few digital photos of the beast,but I warn,they must drive slowly or they will miss it what with the greenery on the left going east around it plus the tank color(dark green).I recall the speed limit was 80 KMH on that part of old Highwsy 2.From the photo you show,can't recall the similarities,but the color was darker green & the gun was long.Trying to convince the family to go back to Kingston for our Labor day holiday at the end of the month
