with you there!

I have Echelon's new set for Lees and Grants and really want to do a Burma Lee but have no idea how to make the "add-on" armour with was apparently scavenged from Stuart tanks.

Any ideas?

I read earlier on here that the Burma Lees often had simple split hatch commander's turret, without the MG, but don't have pics etc so not really sure what this would look like.

Hope some of the folks on here can help.

Thanks,

Nick

This is the only image I have. Not very clear. It's from a book I have.

Their are some pics in a Mag that are pretty good but can't remember which one.
Not many but a build on a Burma Lee using the old Tamiya kit.
Wait until weekend and I will scan and email them to you both if email address given.
