I am hoping that someone can assist me. I need to build a MK 10 and my stumbling block is the engine deck area. I know they had a louvred sections at the front and rear, but distant photos show them level, while another source,Phil Greenwood's article in Military Modelling in October 1988, shows a step up to the rear section. this does not make sense. I have as yet not been able to locate a Mk 10 in the UK yet to photograph, which has not helped either. All info would be welcome, as I will need to build a few by the time I have finished the list I want. This one will be the early demonstrator for the Marksman turret and the others will include a Mk 10 & 13.
Many thanks in expectation
