Looking for universal carrier mk 2 photos

[Stewart Loy]

Is this of any help?

Hanno,

They do some nice work at that museum, but they have some stuff a bit off.

The gunners side fuel tank stowage bin is the wrong way around. That small door should be at the back of the hull - as it is the access to the fuel tank!

Also, there must have been some T-16 bits left over, as a spoked Carrier road wheel made it to the spare tire stowage position. I see that the PIAT stowage both at the drivers position and over the engine are swipped directly from a T-16. I have never seen that anti-armour device depicted in pix from the period or on any stowage drawings.

One thing that has always puzzled me about that 1/35th scale plastic model of the Carrier - why does it have the fold down front armour of a MkI, with the track dust shields and crew steps of the MkII machines?
