Default Introduction

I after reading many posts here for that past several months I felt that I should introduce myself and share some pics of my carrier and some of the kit and ces that I have recently acquired.
I purchased Brad Mills Canadian Mk1. In my opinion it is an amazing restoration whose engine simply purrs.

I have been collecting weapons for years and only now have purchased a WWII fighting vehicle. I was watching the History channels Top Ten Fighting vehicles and noticed that the carrier was number 7. It should a great deal of footage of the carrier having 50 cals mounted. So having a 50 I acquired a mount. A little over kill and not original standard equipment...it was used extensively.

So what do you think..over kill? The mount has been adapted to slide up and off the carrier.

Yesterday I stopped by a buddys house who I know through gun collecting and knowing he had a carrier many years ago I scooped up many pieces of kit and ces items that were not with the carrier when I bought it.

I understand some of the stuff is very rare.
