Hi all;

I am in need of the following British or Canadian stowage sketches for some current and upcoming projects.
They are Crusader AA MkI (not the enclosed 40mm but the open deck style)
Crusader AA MkII
Sherman M4A1 early with front vision ports
Sexton MkI and II
Sherman DD MkI
AEC Deacon 6pdr carrier

All help is greatly appreciated and I will of course cover any costs for copies and postage.
I also have many British and Commonwealth stowage sketches and info. I am willing to share.

What are stowage sketches ?

Stowage sketches are drawings which are found in British and Commonwealth manuals and Instruction books pertaining to the placement of personel and vehicular equipment and they also show the general layout of the vehicle. These drawings served as a quick reference to the crews as to how things should be stowed and where or what certain parts of the tank were for or located...not always followed but the drawings are great reference for modelers.

Sean, It does exists for modern AFV too?
I´m about to built a Scimitar on the current conflict, so it gonna be in handy!
Thanks on advance!

Yes, usually referred to as "Load Plans". There are two types, one found in the technical manual that tells you where to store equipment and tools that are issued with the vehicle like the axe, shovel, tool bag, tanker bar, etc. Another one is normally a local SOP telling soldiers where to stow their "A" bag, "B" bag, rucksack, MREs, water cans, where to put the cans of GAA and oil, camo net bags, etc.
