Model of AOP MkIII
Thanks for the info guys, allways intriquing, and more questions to be asked.
The hoops for the canvass covers on some carriers about to be loaded. I know the Welsh Guards had a version, with a very smart "tailored" canvass cover, IWM has some very nice photo's of this version. Best if I am contacted by pm for more info.
From the info I have, the MkIII had the large opening on the dividing plate, "bulkhead", plated over, and a totally re-designed cooling layout, and the engine cover did not have the air ducts either side.
A close look at my earlier photo of the rear of the AOP MkI, the cable reel holder shown in the lower right hand appears to be a cast item, rather than fabricated.
I enclose some shots of my model of the MkIII, 95% complete.
Thanks.
George.
