Default Italian campaign

Richie, here's a nice shot of an Italian campaign 3" mortar carrier in your colour scheme, note the ingenious way of carrying a spare wheel, 'mortar tube bracket', nice detailed character picture.

I had an idea about a boat race involving carriers and tracks... Two man teams per carrier... Tracks broken and withdrawn from the vehicle... Last team to fit the tracks gets a penalty.

However Sbi have just torn a muscle in my back , I can no longer put up a reasonable standard or competition !

Kev I have never seen that image before, excellent quality ! If the carrier was displaying that scheme, the chances are it came in via Bizzerta and perhaps had a stint on Op Husky.

Well got the carrier back yesterday so decided to start to fit the antenna bracket base.

This year will hopefully be one for the detail stuff , I still have to fabricate the radio battery box, the gunners seat, and a number of bins etc etc.

Then I can get the radio and intercom kit fitted. !

I've only cleaned mine. True dedication (or the disease is terminal) has you out in the workshop.

I'll email some drawings for the bits you need. You can borrow the aerial bits if you want to copy them.
