From my limited research I "think" that Canadian’s did use 3" gunned M-10 in WWII.
Can someone confirm this?
I have been looking at AVF Club’s M-10 Wolverines kit.
Does this kit (out of the box) resemble a vehicle used by Canadians?
Can someone point out an Internet resource (or just tell me) what markings (and/or units that used this tank) would be found on this?
I know, a lot of questions, but there seems to be little info on this tank in Canadian Service (if it ever was) and I want to build an M-10 of some sort and was hoping to be a little patriotic.
And yes, I have seen some info on the Achilles (maybe this instead).
Much Thanks

First of all, welcome to the site Steamer. The Achilles would have been more likely in Canadian service, I can't rember seeing anything on the M10 at all... Any more theories?...Jim

I know us Brits used the M10 so good chance it was used by the Canadian’s the M10 late by AFV club had Uk decals in it

Here's a great site for info on Canadian armour in WWII: http://www.armouredacorn.com/
Look under "References" and there are several pages of color vehicle markings, including a bit on the M10.

M10s were definately used by the Canadian Army in Normandy and on into Germany I believe. Quartermaster depot has decals for M10s in Normandy and others.
