Painting question regardinga Sherman M4A2 tank

[Royal Canadian Ordance Corps]

Thanks for that, I assumed the wheels and smaller parts would require more paint as you have to make several passes to cover all areas.

I was planning on painting all the nooks and crannies first
and then doing the larger parts.

Your Sherman waiting a paint job is a M4A2E8, with the 76mm gun and was used after Korea.In Korea the Shermans were M4A3E8's from US stock. If you paint her up post some photos . Would be nice to see the end result.

About 10 yrs ago Sherman Tank "Bomb" in Sherbrooke was cleaned and repainted by a crew from 202 Workshops. I read about it in the Sherbrooke newspaper, The Record. If you call the Ops Office at 202 you might find a work order, materials list and after action report. Another option would be to contact the Sherbrooke Hussars to see when their item #1 on the DA (maybe called the SCA nowadays) was last maintained, and work forward from there.

The same thing happened to the Sherman in Stanstead a few years later. The Legion executive may have had to pay for supplies while DND provided the work parties. Worth asking around for.
