Default Kangaroos in Italy

Bob

Thanks for the info. My Italian and NWE are ready to finish, but amazingly I too was stopped by the floor plate retention dilemma. Althought the Mod instruction states they were to be removed, I'd already glued mine in - on the basis that if you look at the pics they are as you say, crammed with troops, all on an equal level !!! As I also had no transmisssion tunnel / info, I thought I'd leave it as an ad hoc mod, and wait for the flak

Do you need a scan of that back box mod ? One side only.
It also shows the remains of the deep wading frame.

I actually used a sad old Grant chassis, and inserted the Italeri base into it ! OK, slightly narrower, but will be hidden internally by sandbags etc. Looks really good though.

The odd pics only show the trunking at the rear, so I'm going with that - it was harder to remove I think, also the top one may not have been needed for shallow wading and to allow troops to access.

Andrew
