Lp1, #73
Dale, this weekend I will finish the shovel bracket and hopefully also the bracket for the track adjuster socket bar.
Lynn, just for you, some pics. I think I am fortunate to have 2 great projects, but this LP1 will be long term.
The ARN is 6573, disposed of on 20 June 1943.
I am a bit puzzled with several things with this vehicle.
1. The rear brackets as it appears to have had a tow pintle attachment.
2. The camouflage markings, it is painted khaki green but there are large traces of red/brown camo and black with a sand/white line to separate the black from the green. Very similar to WW1 patterns.
3. The markings on the LH side of the hull, appear to be an upside down triangle or most probably a 'V' (not sure on colour).
