Box art shows a B set aerial base for a 19 set. I'd have to assume that this and an A set base are included too so unless they are in the original (I only have Bronco's), I'd say it has those new parts at least.

You don't have to assume, both antena mounts are visible in the photos of actual built prototype kit, that are in the news story, just one click from here. Also visible is the Brit sighting vane (called birdcage or sth similar) in front of the commanders cupola. Cheers, Greg

They were used by Canada in this version post war too in small numbers!

Did they see service in Korea, or anywhere outside of Canada?

Did they see service in Korea, or anywhere outside of Canada?[/quote] No, only in Canada...Borden and Gagetown I believe.

Approx 90 made it into service with the Recce Sqn of the three Brtish AD (7, 11 & GAD) very late in the war. Most photos are of the Berlin Pde with 7 AD but I have seen photos of a GAD one as well. I believe the markings shown here are an immediate Post War one used during occupation duties Cheers Al

I thunk the stowage boxes on the fenders were originally a typically British fitting as well. Where is the rear turret box, though?

First edition will come with a (very British) figure
