New 2 Pounder Carrier Project 6191 Arrives

[Tony Smith]

Well spotted, Lynn.

Brenton, if you're wondering what Lynn's post is about, we discussed 5 spoke wheels Here, and then moved on to Here. The presence of 3 of these wheels proves nothing either way, but it does show that they appear in the strangest places.

i have now sorted out my fuel problems and the gear linkage assembly for the vehicle arrived today.
Which was nicely assembled by Colin Jones may thanks .
Tomorrow i will fix the assembly to the gearbox and possibly take it for its first drive within the week. i have located a few more components for the gun that i will replicate and have fitted in the next few weeks.

its all starting to come together !!!!

i anticipate having the Tank Attack Carrier at Corowa 30 as a running exhibit...
if time from work allows.. as i am regular army and that is a busy time with exercises

will post pics in next few days of progress and some interesting pics of a completed carrier internals & fittings

i had a few teething problems still its not doing any hard turns and not turning very well to the right. i still have to ajust some linkages still.

managed to do a gear change on the move now thats challenging now i have even more respect for the guys who operated these vehicle in northern Australia During ww2 as we only drove it for about 15 mins but both of us were buggered and bruised.
