Hi, I have applied a coat of 'Portland stone' as the base coat to the 1941 carrier and have ordered the two contrasting colours ('silver grey' and 'slate')for the Caunter scheme as directed in Mike's book, I plan to do the 1940 Carrier in a base colour of 'Light Stone' and apply the same two contrasting colours over the top.

So both carriers in Caunter, one with Portaland stone base colour and the other in Light stone base colour. I think this would be correct, it's all pretty confusing reading up on this subject, I plan to study as many original Caunter carrier pictures as possible and draw up some lines on the carriers for painting.

Mike's book confuses me with the front on picture and the looking down picture, If you study the area of the front drivers wing in the pictures, they depict something different in each picture??????????.

Any comment or help appreciated.

You see Matilda tanks restored in Caunter with a striking pale blue in the colour scheme, I understand this was due to Airfix getting the paint code wrong in the instructions for early models and its stuck ever since?.
