Hi,

Does anyone can provide Humber Armoured Car interior photos (especially for the Mk.II/III 15mm BESA & Mk.IV 37mm gun inside the turret) ? Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Kurtis

Hi Niels,

Thanks for the pictures, all of the photos are Mk.IV interior. Right ?

Hi Alan,

Thanks for the link. But, I found those on-line photos long time ago.

However, I am still looking for the 15mm BESA gun info.

Cheers,
Kurtis

I don't believe any Mk11 or 111 vehicles still exist so any photographs will be period.

Bovington would have some and the Humber Armoured Car Training Video which used to be commercialy available showed the interior of a Mk111.

Hi Neil,

Thanks for reminder. And I found the on-line video but the quailty is not so good. I think the Mk.2/mk.3 15mm BESA gun structure looks very similar to Mk.1. Do you know if there is any on-line photo for the Bovington's Humber Mk.1 ?

Cheers,
Kurtis

Bovington have the only surviving Mk1 and will have all the manuals for all the Mk's if you want any pages copied.

Default interior details

I was noticing that the interior is described by some people as silver color, but I think aluminum paint would give a good result on a model kit
