Scout Carrier



The Scout Carrier shouldn't be too long before general release either.
In the meantime look at the pictures :-)

This booklet is available on ebay. Lots of research has been carried out on the colourful aspects of BEF vehicles. Those little AoS markings can make all the difference to the camouflage green.
There is already plenty of information regarding the Armoured Brigades, but little about the infantry, artillery or support units. Hopefully this booklet will redress the balance.
Price £12 plus postage.

Bedford OY 3 Tonner


Work is nearly finished on the Bedford OY 3 ton lorry. It is a little more complete than the one in the attached photograph, which is of one at Cassel. The resin kit will be a based wheelset, chassis, planked load bed, canvas tilt, and the cab. I have made the windows in the cab thin skinned, so they can be removed for the open look.

A10 Cruiser

I have sent the A10 Cruiser off to Richard for casting. It has been a while in the making, mainly due to the amount of rivets, but also due to the full time job getting in the way. I hope to have these by Partizan.
I have a limited number of the Panzer II Ausf A/B/C in stock, and most of the bits for the Scout Carrier. Anyone who would be interested, email me.
The Belgian FN M12 motorcycle combination is also done, just waiting for Mike to finish the crew, and then that will be released.
On the Belgian front, I also have a few FRC 47mm AT guns and crew for anyone interested.

Sorry for the 4 months of near silence. 9 years to retirement and then I will have far too much time on my hands.

Just a quick reference for the British Armoured Formations.
Bridge weights and WD serial numbers-

Vickers Light Tank VIb- T1985 through 2084, T2087-2293, T2336-2429,T2431-2530,T3652-3715, T4166-4241,T4243-4308,T4456-4484, T4465-4715,T5085-5129,T5763-5773,T5813-5842.

Vickers Light Tank VIc- T4309-4342,T5130-5184,T5774-5812,T5843-5882.

Both bridge marking 6

A9 Cruiser MkI- T7196-7270 Bridge marking 13

A11 Matilda I- T3433-3542. T5551-T5610,T8101-8119. Bridge marking 12 (?)

A12 MkII Matilda II- T6729-T6868, T7271-7350,T7351-7390,T10034-10203
(The WD decided to serial number MkII,MkIII and IV plus the Scorpion and Baron, irrespective of their mark. I would settle for the lower numbers for France. T6906 Greenock, and T9732 Galahad are the two I can vouch for at the moment. I will keep looking for the other numbers for each of the named vehicles. All names began with G.) Bridge marking 25

To be continued.....

Not sure about using Belgian chocolate to make the tank and saddles.....
