Hi Folks,
A request from the 'darkside' . . . . Maritime modelling
I currently building the Airfix Vosper Type I @ 1/72. The detail plans I have call for 4 x Carbines (Assuming Lee Enfield ) to be mounted in racks on the open bridge.
Question anyone know of a source for these ?
Thanks for your time
Cheers Kev

Look for a No. 5 Mk I (F). My refs call it a 'Jungle Carbine'.
Also there is a Lee-Enfield Carbine Mark I
but it says it was adopted by the British War Office in 1894. It also says it was designed for cavalry and was later replaced by the SMLE
Hope this helps and at least get you started in your search

These are wargaming figs but are styrene and actually quite well detailed. And only around $5/set.

What tended to be carried was the Lanchester SMG and not rifles.
