yeah i will give him a bell. its the main set and the power unit however the power unit is home made it has a few plugs removed and modernised but he has the originals to go back on. my grandads fighting era was from 1942 - 45 prior to that he was training in callender Scotland whilst his regiment were reforming after the dunkirk fiasco. the carrier will be painted desert scheme post 42... to be specific its a late tunisian scheme which was carried over into Op Husky very similar to Nigel Watsons carrier but rather than the red terracotta disruptive it will be black / dark brown.......... so datewise looking late 42 into 43

i would like the crew to be able to talk to the driver (moi) using the set if possible.


Iam going around to his later so will take some pics of it for you guys.


Cheers

Richie
