YHR, is this a specific tank you've modeled? I didn't know Canada used the 76mm, I thought they only used the 17pdr but I could be wrong, haven't investigated it too deeply.

I used creative licence. The Canadians didn't get any Shermans like this until after the war.

It has the Markings of the 1st Canadian Armoured Brigade, 11th regiment that fought it way North from landing in Southern Italy. If my VVSS turns out OK, then this will be a more involved project. I'll model the 17 Pdr, loose the side fenders, extend the turret, and run modified Bulldog tracks on it. Everything hinges on the VVSS. I am hoping to do the masters this week. I took time off over Christmas, so hopefully I can get this done.

I included an image of a post war Sherman that is the 76 mm.
