Canadian Skink 20 mm Quad Anti-Aircraft Tank.
Along with the Canadian RAM II which also could use the M3 Lee chassis and early tracks.

Really this is in two parts.

The Skink turret, quad Polsten cannon (already designed for the LVT).

Minor conversion of the M4A1 running gear.

It would make a nice resin add on kit , including turret , guns , drive sprocket and track . BUT there are so many WW2 vehicles that were built in their hundreds , and thousands that really should get released 1st . That being said . some company like S&S or Company B producing one wouldn't go amiss , but that's their main focus , conversion pieces not full kits like Rubicon .
