Nicely done...other than the ambulance variant you don't see many carriers with the bows/cover. Do you have a picture of it with the cover on?

Michael Greeley 24-08-11 18:40

Its a field Mod I took from Nigels Book for the Bows , I know Cha :cheers:rlie it would be a CT then the #, I havent got to that part yet cuz i'm in the works of restoring T16 soon. Cheers Mike G

One of the Main reasons I put bows on is because we do alot of Reanactments static displays etc and I accually sleep in the carrier so it acts like a tent. I made a bed from extra plank wood and place it long ways across the drivers and gunners in side fenders, plus I don't like when it gets wet, Sum display i put camo netting on, like in this pic, last pic i had my old markings on it :salute:

No it's my own last 3 #'s the area ware its supposed to be on the rear left angle iron was so pitted I only got a 6 out of it. Cheers

charlie fitton 25-08-11 23:11

The number
 
you should use is from on top of the armour in front of the driver.

RichardT10829 25-08-11 23:20

unfortunately like many others.. i dont think Mike was lucky enough to have any armour left on his (when he first got it) i was lucky enough to have a few digits left on the remains of my front armour,but many of us out there dont have that luxury.

Michael Greeley 26-08-11 00:38

Richy is Correct most of the steel plate is mild steel and the lower hull is all that was left, pitted and such, Hey it drives and leaks oil , typical Flathead, and fun to drive, thats all that matters :)

Dave Schindel 30-08-11 04:40

You did a good job,Mike.I hope mine is as good when I'm done. :)
