Kevin. that caunter pattern is incorrect mind so dont use it.... you need to get in touch with Mike Starmer, there are two whole books just about the use of Caunter pattern. mine is still young enough (in war time) to have it but my grandads regiment were re forming in scotland when alamein etc was going on... then after 42 and alamein caunter was phased out and desert ZI pink was introduced. carriers look savage in caunter IMHO maybe some day after i have displayed mine in sicily colours i will number the hull correctly (and not 10829) and splash her up in caunter !

what colour are you doing the mortar ? that would be nice in desert base with black disruptive hint hint......just trying to get Shauns Mk1 the same so we can have a sicily campaign battle group

Richard, if you want the others to follow suit regarding the Sicilian campaign? Just put some cotton wool in your cheeks and make them an offer they can't refuse. Ron

also vol 1 carrier book has loads of caunter pics but i promise you.......you need to buy mikes book if you want to get it exactly right for its age. the pattern changed and had many different variations of colours used including different shades of green to slate, brown, blue, and sand etc etc

Default new carrier

I have looked at the carriers numbers today at the upper hull is CB 335, So its very early, cant make out any other numbers. It has a TL number and writing on the side which i need suggestions on getting it to show clearer.
