Kevin
As I have an interest in early carriers, I'd be interested to learn more about your 1940 carrier.
Do you have a British built Universal?

Hi Lynn, Check out the 'Carrier Platoon' thread for the 1940 carrier, I dont have a British Carrier, first one I have seen in the flesh was Ben's Scout carrier.

Good picture of a Brit MkI. I have not seen the kit locker mounted on top of the engine cover before.
I thought by that stage of the war, they would have done away with those white "suicide squares". Keep posting them for us Kevin.

In Kevin's post #35 the last picture shows RMY 681, with a large "4" on the right front guard. What does that mean? (please)

Gents,
Roughed out the Caunter lines from studying original pictures, I will upload some more Caunter original ones when I get time, these colours are correct as matched with samples, Mike's book on Caunter pattern for the Dragon carrier does not match any Caunter carrier pic I have seen. This is what I have come up with after looking at over 50 Caunter carrier pics. Comments and any more Caunter pics would be helpful. kev.

I like it. Some of the carrier shots seem to show the (factory) green colour stays around the front side where the T number is painted, I guess it saves reapplying the number?? Yours seems the same. Nice to see something different.
