Hi all,

in my Korean War range, I plan a Centurion Mk. 3 in a hilltop position, getting the ammunition replenished. Now, what would the ammo boxes for the 20 pounder gun look like? Are they wood or metal? And I also want to use a Universal Carrier for getting the ammo on the hilltop. Would they use a trailer with the carrier and what kind of trailer would be it?

TIA

Have a look at this website mate, it is about Australian Centurions but all of the equipment is the same as the British in Korea.

It is a bugger of a site to get around but has some good info

@ Frenchy, Exactly my idea!

@ Scott Thanks for the link. Extremely cool website! While I am not in Vietnam modelling, I instantly fell in love with these RAAC tanks. I think I give the AFV Club kit a try.

Looks like the 20 pdr shells were the only ones not to be delivered in boxes

Hans here's one idea which should work ,, you could give Bovington or Duxford tank museums a phone call and ask one of the guys there , there's not much these guys don't know about the tanks they have on show ,worth a try if you don't have any luck finding the info your after .
