i read in a review of the above kit, and it mentioned that there is a british army vehicle provided as a marking option.

can anyone tell me which unit/regiment etc it depicts?

cheers

Nothing specific except the reg number is 49KB10 which matches a M548 shown being loaded on Scammell in Concord's Op Granby book. The M548 in the picture above it belongs to the 12 Air Defence Regt RA so it might be the same unit.

The instructions show an upside V recognition marking which isn't shown in the book. Also the book shows the front reg number on a plate which is perpendicular to the ground whereas the kit shows the decal flat against the sloped portion of the hull.
