Default "C"Squadron,Lord Strathcona"s Horse

Greetings to All
I'm doing a 35th scale build up of the M4A3E8 for this
Squadron. Ive been able to find one picture on the net,
but it is only thumbnail picture. The questions I have
are
1. This E-8 seems to have an extended nose by looking
at the transmisson cover,Was this Canadian E-8
modified?, and if so by how much.
2. What main gun did this E-8 use?
This is a Korean war era track
Thanks in advance
Patrick

Patrick,

This tank would have been armed with a 76mm main gun, by this time usually with a muzzle brake fitted.
The late transmission covers were more sharply pointed and would appear longer.

John, you're a pretty good guy despite what they say!

I was looking for that pic myself.

Pat, run with it and let us know how your project comes out!
