I'd agree, talk to Mike. He's helping with the colours the scout was painted.
I found it to be KG3 from the factory with sand and stone colours on top of that. Mike is trying to establish if it was the early British desert scheme or caunter over the KG3. Both correct for 1940. Which one are you doing in caunter? Ben

Thanks, I will contact him. Still be good to have a thread on Caunter pattern carriers, so if anyone has any they can post that would be great!.
It's also worth noting from the pics i have posted that the guys back then were not to bothered which way round they put the tracks on. Would these all be British built carriers in Caunter?. No Canadian??. kev.

I've not checked "T" numbers so I can't be sure but they seem to have the pawl spring type front idlers which would make them very early universals. I believe this to be more common on early British carriers than the Canadian ones.
Kevin I know one of you hulls has this type of idler, and it's Canadian. Easiest way would be to check the dates I guess? when did caunter stop being used? if your carrier is after that date then it wouldn't be that colour! If you just want to paint it caunter to represent that type, who cares? it's your carrier paint it as you like........(SAS pink anyone?) Ben
