How 'bout these?







Looks like they have thrown the left hand track in the last one.

Cool pictures!! Thanks Shaun (I'm another Shaun (even spelt the same)). Does anyone else have more? I am considering building a dio with a Bishop and a scout car or similar.

Here's another, could be in Tunisia, Sicily or Italy (the book caption dosn't say but the branches on top kind of rules out the western desert).

great picture! Thanks.

Any more for any more?

What would the bishop be deployed with? Humber scout cars, Daimlers, what tanks etc?

Everything you could want is here:
AFV Interiors

For display, you might want to pick up a Tamiya 25lbr, and use the caisson.

Thanks for all the tips guys. If any one has any pictures particularly of the Bishop on Ops, I'd be glad to hear from you!!
