Amongst the models I'm trying to finish off I need some help with which parts to choose for the rear of my British army Direct vision type.

I'm making either the Ex.1 9th Queens Lancers 2nd Armoured brigade version or the Ex.2 3rd Hussars 9th Armoured brigade New Zealand division but definitely not the Ex.3 Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry so which of the following parts do I choose or could I use both?


Because the instructions are in Japanese I don't know whether to choose parts F13/F12/F16/F15/F19 or parts F5/F6/F3/F4/F7/F9.

Hi David,
for Ex.1 (only) you need the parts F12,13,15,16,19.
All others vehicles need the parts F3,4,5,6,7.... .

Look at picture 9, there are both filters, one with the remark "Ex.1.vehicle"

Happy modelling
Steffen

It's a great kit. Make sure you fill the seams where C44, C52 and C53 join with C50.

Thanks Steffen. I was wondering if F12/13 etc were just for Ext.1 but wasn't sure because the instructions were in Japanese so thanks for confirming it. I think I'll do Ex.2 so I can avoid those tiny photoetch parts.
