Hi all,

I'm looking for information about the Staghound MKI. Reference pictures, drawings, detailled information of camouflage/paint schemes etc. I've searched the web already several times but maybe one of you has something I don't have yet (or something that can't be found on the web)



Everything is welcome!

Thanks in advance,
Martin

Great links, thanks mate. Didn't found that one yet.

About the sand colour......I guess this one was used in Italy? If I'm not mistaking they were first used there in 1943.

And does someone know if the AA Staghound has ever been used. I can't find any conclusive information about that, just that they were build and that the allies ruled the skies over Europe

Hi Martinn: I wouldn't assume that the colors of the two staghounds were original. As you can see, they both were awaiting restoration and it appears to me that the previous owners painted them with those colors and markings. In photos I've seen of Staghounds in italy, they look standard OD with lots of dust.

I know that I've seen an AA Staghound in a wartime battlefield setting. I don't recall where.

Martin,
I would post a request on the MAFVA forum as they are bound to have information in their references.
