Full marks to Le Régiment de Hull for painting their M4A2E8 in the correct markings when so many others do not.

Hi Ed

Agreed. Nice to see.

Is the paint colour correct. Was it a "Bronze Green"?

Can someone tell me what the correct colour is for these M4A2(76)W HVSS Shermans? Does it have a FS#?

regards
Darrell

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#?

regards
Darrell

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.

Yes, the fresh paint and markings look swell!
Almost correct too. Can anyone spot one glaring error ?
