Always looking for good reference pics. I still need good clear pics of the fuel, oil, temp, and amp guages. Everyone has such a great help on my carrier project I can't thank you enough

Sorry but the MK2 dosen't have the screen type exhaust guard.

[Ron Pier]

I was just thinking that myself! The tarp situation is such that it drapes near both exhausts on a MK2 I think your scale model has more of the makings of a Mk1? You could do with a copy of Nigels book, for detailed specification. Ron

Boy am I confused now. What is the main difference between the MkI and the MkII? I thought the MkI'a had the flat section on the front out to the end of the gunner's shield then it slopped down where the MkII slopped all the way up to the drivers shield. Did all carriers carry a radio? I want this mainly as a troop carrier armed with a bren gun

[Ledsel]

There really isn't that much physical difference between the two. You are probably confused with the T-16 which I think has a different slope on the front. The main differences is the top rail is round metal on the MK2 where the MK1 has wood strips. Also the MK1 has a fold down piece on the gunners front left where the MK2 doesn't. There are two large holes in the rear plate that you cannot see in behind the rear diff. And the exhaust guards that we talked about and that's about all that's visible from the outside. Also the headlight positioning is a little different. It seems like most have only one headlight but mine has two.

Yes I would agree with Ledsel on those comments. That's why I suggest you pick a MK1 configuration, as you are already part way there. Ron
