I have Dragon's Mk.III Sherman (M4A2). I want to use wading stacks. The question is, is Verlinden's resin Sherman turret correct for this? I apologize for lack of details. I'm not a Sherman guy and don't know exactly how the lend lease program worked.

Wading stacks where? The Pacific? If so, that's the wrong M4A2 kit. You either need the Tarawa or Sicily kit.

There are also a number of Verlinden Sherman turrets. Which one are you trying to use?

You should try and pickup British Armor in Sicily and Italy, by Dennis Oliver. Quite a few M4A2's with wading stacks in that book.

I believe the only way you could do a "North Africa" tank would be in the staging areas getting ready to cross the Med on the way to Sicily or Italy.

Staging area is fine. I want to use Verlinden British Sherman Turret W/ Canvas, #2530.
