On reflection, I think the outline of my number "9" is a bit top-heavy and may need re-drawing, as we like to be as historically accurate as possible. My mates are suggesting that T2 would be more appropriate for "Te Aroha III" as the truck was re-numbered T2 for the Barce raid in which the LRDG destroyed thirteen enemy planes on Barce airfield and damaged many others. Nearly all of the trucks in T patrol (including "Te Aroha III") were destroyed by retaliatory enemy fighter attacks, as they scurried back to base after the raid.

Hi Andrew,
Highly appreciated with your lovely project, and dreaming of my own...
Mind bringing my opinion...
The lower part of the "9" character at your drawings seems to be a bit different:

Thanks Igor,
Yes I agree with you and I have made a new drawing, which I think is more accurate. However, we may decide to use T2 instead - not sure yet.

Andrew, I also tried to correct it. It's not that perfect, but maybe it will help. Also attached the 1/35 kit decals scan.
