Odd camo. Wonder if it's authentic or just a restorer's fantasy??
But a nice bit of work, Gents! Thanks.

I wonder why they have it labelled as a 38(f)?

Nice photos for details. The paint is laughable though. I guess whoever was composing the sign saw the (t) and thought it was an (f)...

Thanks very much Alan and Darren for taking the time to share your photographs. Its appreciated very much.

No problem as I am happy to help members with as much detail as i can. Regarding the painting of the vehicle; as I understand once upon a time vehicles were painted with any paint that looked right, now a lot of effort is put into getting right and hence you have a mix of accurate and unaccurate paint colours and schemes.

I take it this is a subtle hint to change the title
There were a few of the boards at IWM Bovington that weren't quite correct, the Italian Tank was wrongly labled too, but I can't remember the correct version so haven't posted that one up yet.
It's good we have a few experts around to point these things out.
