Valcartier Sherman

[Ed Storey]

The Reg de Hull Sherman looks to be painted semi-gloss OD which I believe was correct for the era. Was Bronze Green not used on British vehicles?

Hi Ed

Thanks for that.

RE bronze green, I think you are correct. Probably just leaked outta my head.

Anyone have an FS#?

This is how the Valcartier Sherman looked back in 1984.

hopefully when the repaint takes place ... someone can be assigned to reinstall the coaxial 1919A4 Browning.

Might that be thought to be too 'war like' ?

Not sure which tank you refer to seems the Hull Sherman is missing the Bow MG poking out its ball mount. Kind of sad state the vehicles at the CWM stripped of there turret mounted MGs or a Lynx with nothing mounted. Go to the Armor Museum at Fort Knox KY or even just drive around the base and it seems every intersection has a monument tank sited there AND mounting welded up MGs to complete the look like they are ready to go to battle.

See large red colour oval surrounding the protruding barrel jacket and muzzle of the coaxial mounted Browning.

What makes you think it is missing ? Eds 1984 pic or did it get pinched since Steves and the first picture showing the tank ?..............BTW I have a pretty good handle on what gun goes where. Q: is the co-axe supposed to stick out that far on this monument tank ?
