Play date at Martyns.....

I think you may need to remember that these carriers are probally shifting into 2nd gear. Good reason for the front end to pull up? Aidan

[Lynn Eades]

You have the wrong springs in the wrong end.
Rear springs=TL126=9 3/4 coils= 9.4 to 9.6 inches long
Front springs= TL332= 10 1/2 coils=10.22 to 10.42 long
Inner springs are the same both ends.
Just a minor error in a job well done. Congrats.

The sand and teracotta scheme that you mentioned, reminds me of Nigel Watsons MK1. I believe his is depicted as an Indian Regt.That his Father was an officer in. Ron

Yes Nigels carrier is awesome and it really stands out, i have purchased Mike Starmers books for Italy and Desert Schemes so will pick one appropriate tomy grandads time, it will be marked up as a 5thDiv or 46th Div carrier either way. i justwant a paint scheme that touch different......... of course if i go over to the Arnhem trips with Martyn and Co. it would look a tad wierd being in a caunter carrier when everyone else is in green.
