Andre Gibeault's C15TA Restoration

[Barry Churcher]

Sean, I am sure you know how it is when in your mind you have taken a gazillion shots of exactly what you need until you get home. Then it's the old "why didn't I take more" scenario. The first shot is the headphones mounted by the left door. The second shows the cable going across the roof.

I found these from my last visit to Andre's.

These are from my first visit

I have recently purchased the Mirror Models 1/35th scale kit of the CMP C15TA and these restoration photos will be a great help with interior detailing. Thank you.
However can anyone help me out with any census numbers? I am looking to place the model in NWE between 1944 - 45 so any advice as to census number to specific regiment along with the correct colour of the Canadian divisional marking would be most useful.
Any advice or help appreciated.

cheers

Kevin

Had a great visit with Andre yesterday. Only wish he was closer.

That's either the world's smallest C15TA, or the worlds smallest photographs.

It looks good either way.

There were two in this part of the world. Tom Bowman in Gateshead picked up a complete example from Shap many years back, and there was one in a woodyard which is still in this area, now driving around as a restored driving chassis and front end.

Excellent restoration and great job of saving it from the scrapman and the elements, looks very very good. Tim how is your 75mm going?
