Hi guys. I need some help with some reserch. I am building a Vickers Light tank MKVI. I need some sites, photos, color plates and info on the vehicle and tank units assigned for France 1940. Butch Cassidy Tanks46.

You can find some info on the tank here, http://www.wwiivehicles.com/html/britain/light_tanks_mk_vi.html
The armoured units in France included,

1st Armoured Div. (4th & 7th RTR)

Mechanized Divisonal Cavalry units included,
4/7 Royal Dragoon Guards
5th Dragoon Guards
13/18th Hussars
15/19th Hussars
1st Lothian & Border Horse
1st Fife & Forfar Yeomanry
East Riding Yeomanry

Camouflage would have been the then standard G3(middle bronze green) G4(deep bronze green)

To Ukgeoff, just wanted to thank you for passing on the unit and site information. I had the web site marked, but had forgotten about it. The units you provided saves me some research; and I can now pick an appropriate unit. Thanks again Butch Cassidy Tanks46.
