Thank you Niels.
Petr your fuel tanks are different from the earlier carriers. most have the pick up pipe beside the filler. Which way around are they fitted? They look very nice.

Hi Lynn, the pick up pipe is located - at rear, but filler has been moved to the middle of the hull compartment. I think they just found it more "ergonomical"

Hi Petr, it does sort of make sense.

Petr, mine was all cut up like that.(the front armour was good) I used the arc-air gouger to pick the welds off. this will give you a clean edge for measurements, and angles for your patterns. The welds wont gas cut anyhow.
It is the one in issue 168 (May 2015) of Classic Military vehicles. Yes it has the wrong head lights. BTW, Interestingly it is a MkIII (w) but was still (in 1941) set up to carry the hook bar (shepherd's crook)
