Hello,

recently I finished my Accurate Armour Ward LaFrance M1A1 wrecker. The master modeller made his homework in respect of dimension, as I added the TAMIYA M49 ring mount and it fits perfectly. With a TASCA .50 cal M2 HB it looks great.
Now I decided to mark the wrecker as a REME LAD vehicle of an Armoured Regiment, as the colorful REME markings will look great and break up the OD surface.

But now the problem started; - I can't find pictures of REME M1A1 wreckers with the ring mount installed!!
Could someone of this community give some advice, where I could find reference of a such a vehicle. I know that the Brits used the M1A1 wrecker with the LADs in Armoured Regiments and Armoured Brigade workshop.

I shot an email to the REME Museum already, but didn't get any reply yet.

Any help or advice in respect to this topic will be highly appreciated!

Regards

Hauke (Hank)
