question What mark of Saracen?

[07BE16]

It's a bit cold in the garage so thoughts turn to 1/35th! I am about to start building a Saracen as per a photograph on the A&SH webpage circa 1960 in Lemgo (http://argylls1945to1971.co.uk/AandSH_Lemgo1959to62.htm) is there any way of telling if it is a Mark 1 with the twin rear door turret or a Mark 2 with the single?

 

Thanks

Hi,

If you are referring to the photo of a Saracen with the Champ in front, then it appears to be a Mk2 as the commander

is sitting out of the turret on the flap, otherwise if it was a Mk1 you would see the LH door folded back.
