This bit of information is from the Sherman Register, an excellent site:
"In 1946 the Royal Canadian Corps was equipped with 300 M4A2(76)W HVSS Shermans, bought from the US for $1,460.00 each. They were used for training only. After being replaced by Centurions, the Shermans were passed down to various Militia regiments.
The Lord Strathcona's Horse Regiment which served in Korea used M4A3(76)W HVSS Shermans supplied by the USA."
So Paul, You can build this training tank or Dragon's M4A3E8 (with CMD's turret since this kit has an awful representation) to make one of the Korean veterans.
For the triaining M4A2E8, I suggest Dragon's new M4A2 Lend Lease kit with either Academy's (nice), AFV Club's (the best for now), Dragon's (mediocre), or MP Models' (crude) HVSS set. (BTW, I have an extra set of the letter two, wanna trade? ;-))
Note that this is a later version than the Dragon kit and has the lifting loops mounted outwards near the glacis edges. Above them, there should be rear view mirrors (usually removed leaving only their mounts visible).
The grill in the Dragon kit needs work.
