Re: tank versions based on the sherman
hi all
the first picture is a sexton artillery gun ,built in canada and based on the ram tank chassis, used by british and commonwealth forces and very similar to the american m7 priest.the sexton used the 25 pounder gun and was considered an excellent artillery piece ,and used by many countries after the war including portugal,there are many sexton restorations underway that originated from the portugese army there's also one for sale now with marcus glenn for a reasonable £25k for anyone that wants a "tank".
the second picture i don't know but at a guess i would say it was based on the american stuart tank chassis and is probably a high speed tractor for artillery.
hope you all enjoy easter holiday
