Hi Guys,
With the release of the Bronco Staghound I though I'd add a few reference pics.
These are from Bovington Tank Museum.
Happy Modelling
I'll put the rest in another post.

Hi Dave,
Your welcome. I should say that 'Grumpy' has very kindy taken on the task of uploading some 500 plus pics to the reference library that I took on recent visits to both the Imperial War Museum and Bovington Tank Museum.
So nice one Dave, they will then be available for all on a more permanent basis than this post.
Cheers

Hi Jan,
You're welcome. Of the 82 people who looked so far, it's nice to see a couple of folks took the time to say thanks.
Enjoy the build, I know I will.

There are quite nice, Alan.
I note that the turret doesn't seem to have the set of lifting rings normally seen in line with the turret centreline. As the earliest Stags didn't have these lugs (possible because the pistol port was in about the same position), I wonder if this makes this vehicle an intermediate production version? No ports, yet no forward lifting lugs? Odd, though, that the rear lugs are in place.
Just a thought.

Hi Paul,
Don't know the history of this one. You would have to ask the museum.
Nice to see this kit arriving on the market thought.

Hi Pat and Mike,
Glad the pics are of some use. Awaiting arrival of this one, it's great to have both the Humber and the Staghound in plastic.
Have fun.

Thanks for posting these Alan, I'm building Bronco's Staghound right now and they are very helpful. I have one question though... the picture with the engine cooling fan in it, from what angle is that taken and where is it pointing to? I'm specifically looking for a shot of the elusive underside of the rear exhaust area. The Bronco kit has this rendered as a big hole and I'm sure there's more to it than that.
thanks again....
Bob
thanks again....

Hi Alan. Thanks for sharing the images. I was going to suggest sending these in as a reference article, but I see Grumpy has already organised this. Good man Dave! A very timely set of photographs, and a great opportunity for us who haven“t been to these museums. Very appreciated!
