Default mk1

hi mate this was the mk1 we stripped for parts and kept the pannles for pattens not a lot else you could do with it apart from grow a few more plants in it.!!!
ps have made you a set of the gun brackets on the inside of the hull

Iam not sure but i think this was a mk1 upgraded to a mk2 as the holes for the gun rests along the top side and rear armour were just bolts and the top of the bulkhead has been changed i have also noticed the hols for the smoke discharger bracket on the side. she has a lot of history shame most ended up like this.

i looked for number on the hull but could not find any how ever there is a couple of extra holes in the lower gunners front armoure again with just bolts in to blank them i have been told they were for when they had a boyes rifle for the cleaning rod brackets? the cast parts were all dated 1941.
