Priest Kangaroos in Italy?

[Bob Potter]

From the Sherman Register, I believe, I have some info on Priest Kangaroos in use during the Italian campaign. There is a photo of one with wading trunks. That one I want to model, with one alongside it without trunks. I will examine the photos more closely, but in the interim, here goes:

1. Markings -- Any suggestions form unit or other "tribal" markings? Did one unit drive them and they were attached to troop units as required?

2. Painting -- When the conversion was completed, was the thing repainted in British spec colors or touched up with US OD?

3. Marks -- were these M7's or M7B1's? The photo I have suggests M7's.

Thanks, Hanno, and all who serve here. I really admire your work on that Ram 'Roo. If I ever get to the Netherlands, I will have to find it.
