Soooo I just got the new Academy Lee kit yesterday and I am wondering if I could make this a Canadian vehicle? Didn't they use them in the U.K. for training in '43 ?
I have a color plate of one in a book with the Large red/white flashes on the side (I guess it was also on the glacis?? )

Am I correct?

3rd Armd Brigade

1st Hussars
Fort Gary Horse
Sherbrooke Fusiliers Reg.

Also, I was curious to Aussie and Kiwi use of the Lee. can anyone help me?

Thanks as always
Chris

It seems I have been on a Canadian crusade as of late....
