Thank you Janne for the comments

Decided I should continue the weathering while I can still get to it.

Added some chips and scratches on top of the stains I had done earlier.

Progress has slowed down. Almost all of my really good interior reference material is for the Stag T17E1. This has not been a problem to date because the interiors are the same up to this point. The issue is the right hand side of the forward compartment.
The T17E2 was fitted with a No. 19 radio set where the other stags had the hull mounted .30 cal. machine gun installed and the position of several spare parts and small bits are different.
The few photos I have do not show the radio in place and are of cars that I'm not sure that they don't have changes made to them post WW2.

I've decided to go forward with what info I do have and try an be logical about the rest.

The Tamiya Unniversal Carrier kit donated it's radio set. Added some wiring for the two antennas and power cords .



The shelf and brackets....



Some test fitting ......







Will try and post some stuff later. Thanks for looking in.

Wow........I had no idea that anything could be done with such detail. It is as if some little 1/35 scale guy is going to get in and drive it away. Most of us will NEVER get quite as good at it as you are and to you I say, fantastic job. How do you work so small ? Do you use jewelers optics and tools? Just curious........again ,great job...........Al .......the not quite as good modeler.

Murdo, Thank you for commenting, hope you like how it turns out.

Al V., Appreicate the kind words. Funny you should mention the scale , I'm an armor newbie who thinks this 1/35 stuff is huge . Usually work in 1/87th or 1/48 for my train stuff.

I do have a question for all you folks, these cars were built with stuff like small arms(submachine gun) ,canteens, flashlights, and tool kits that were American. Would this be correct for British and Canadian units in WW2? Thanks for looking in.

Randy




Randy

i canot say for sure exactly what would be carried on board in real life, but the likelihood is that the tools woudl be American and supplied with the vehicle, but the personal equipment woudl be British or Canadian. These were built to british contracts whereas lend lease vehicles often included a full set of American issue kit including helmets and headsets

Personal arms woudl have been standard issue for the service that used them - at the time these entered service I believe this probably means Stens rather than Thompsons

Armoured car crews were remarkably gifted at "liberating" stuff so you've got a bit of latitude when it comes to adding the personal touch. Somewhere I havea photo of a Staghound with what looks like a folding picnic table and chairs strapped to the rear fender

Thanks for the imput Aidrian, I think you are right. Since the flashlights and canteens had specific holders and clips built into the hull I'll keep a couple of those. Since I'm going Canadian with this one I will swap for sten guns and also add the british helmuts.

V , Thank you for looking in.
