Wartime T-16 Universal Carriers with Tops / Bows

[khern2365]

I spent a total of 30 years in the military 22 of which were as an Airborne Chaplain. We did a lot of field time and slept under a lot of canvas. I love my T-16 but i cannot for the life of me, beleive that the R&D people either Brit, Canadian, or American that designed our beloved carriers, made them with no tops. I spent 7 years in Germany which had crummy weather to say the least with lots of rain.
I know if I had been the commander, after spending just one night in a metal rain box, it would have been my last, b/c the next day I would have schrounged some canvas somewhere and a few 2X4s and slept the next night DRY. It only takes once for a smart man!
