Hi there,
can anyone explain the use of the white "H" painted on the
top of the Centurions turret, and was it always white or was black also used?

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul,

From vanguard 22, the CENTURION TANK in Battle :
On the forward slope of the turret roof is painted a large
white "H" - an air recognition sign; emblazoned on all French and British vehicles, the "H" stands for "Hamilcar"
the original name given to Operation Musketeer.

HTH
Heinrich

White "H", black stripe.

Hello Heinrich, hello Robert,
thanks for the info, but after I read this, I found this on the Net:
for discussion only



Does that mean that the black H and stripe are wrong?

Cheers

Paul

I would assume the decals are marked in 'black' ink on the instructions because it's a black and white line drawing. The key table on the right is for the tank colors, not the marking colors.

I could be wrong.

Thanks Jesse,
Never thought of that
I just found a coloured chart, and it´s as you say.

Thanks again, all three of you.

Paul
