Hello everyone.
An Australian pattern 3" mortar carrier 99.5% complete.. Aircraft in the back drop are 1947 devons ( ex N.Z.Airforce) and behind that is Adelaides Edinburgh RAAF base. This is a great place to live. Colin.

Great!
Excellent work Colin! The cam pattern really makes it.
Looking forward to seeing it at Corowa.

Very impressive now that its all tricked out. The welding work was amazing on it's own as it has progressed but seeing it all together is fantastic.
I'm guessing the base plate on the off-side was in case the WWII crews needed to dismount the mortar. Out of curiosity, how many 3-inch bomb carrier sets would be transported in the side racks? My T-16 is evolving into a 4.2-Inch carrier and will require twelve of the larger bomb carrier sets on each side over the tracks. I can find the 3-inch variants here but the 4.2-inch types don't exist so I'll end up having to fabricate them.

Hi Keith,I will see you there at corowa and I do like the cammo. Its a shame it was'nt ready when you were here as I would have taken you for a ride.
Hi Dave, It carries 108 mortars ( 52 each side ). The base plate is for dismounted use. I do have an original, but a different style so I fabricated that one as per the pictures I have. It is a very uncommon style. I must also add i'm very impressed with your carrier and standard of workmanship. regards Colin.

Beautiful.. Curious about the two round little "barrels" mounted on the front,engine side.. They look like a double ended 12 volt blower fan for engine cooling..which way do you have the air moving for the engine compartment..??In the front..which would make the front squirrel cage fans suck and the rad fan blow..out into the mortar compartment..or suck from there ..across the engine and out the front.. one way or the other would work..great job..just looking at the engineering..and the trades craft..beauty.. And the engine and transmission engineering..could you expand a little on that.. Fit like glove..!!
