Default Hi Paul...

Nice to see you here...
Bruce Parker is our resident Fox expert...I remember visiting him a few years ago and the Fox was completely stripped in little pieces and stored loveingly in every spare nook and cranny in his house..a monsterous mansion is Southern Eastern Ontario...
He had no more room in his garage,because it was full of his wonderful Mark l* U Carrier,C8A and I think a F or C 15A...Can't remember now...Anyway there is no way it was to be outside in the elements,so part by part ,in it came...
This was years ago and he is still married to the same woman..
Amazing..
He may even have a spare part or thirteen..

Hi Paul, welcome to MLU! Here's hoping you can find all the parts you need to complete the Fox.
Have you seen the pics of Foxes in The Hague?

Cheers,
Hanno

P.S. Also see Fox Armoured Car MkI.

Hi Paul,

Sounds like an interesting topic. I guess those of us who have chosen not to use facebook are out of luck.

Paul,

Excellent to see you're working on the FOX again! That chassis with the steering box and new axle looks awesome.
Did you have any luck in finding the missing parts in the meantime? You were looking for a turret ring, if I remember correctly?


Alex

p.s. I took the liberty of attaching some of the pictures from your facebook page. I agree with Jesse.....not everyone is a fan of facebook, so please post some more pictures of your project here on MLU.

Looking good Paul, let me know if you need any dimensions or info from my Fox, she is still in the UK and can be visited.
