I found this thread (and this site) searching for photos of the Saladin Hull and Engine Bay. I am currently designing a paper scale model of the Saladin and since I know nothing about these vehicles, I am relying on found internet information. Your thread...and these fantastic photos you are sharing...are my best find so far. I have got a couple of sets of walkaround images, but interior shots are much harder to find... and it helps to see components being dismantled. Gives me a better understanding of how the parts go together and how to recreate them in scale model form. Anyway, thanks for this valuable information...I am continuing to watch with interest. Oh by the way... I am trying to understand where the engine exhaust pipes pass through the body and what the exhaust system looks like. Got any photos that show that? And what about the air intake for the engine?

Honesty...up front. Mainly here to gather images and read some threads. I run my own Forum, so I agree with the idea of introducing yourself first especially if you don't plan on being a big contributor (to a forum). And a little shameless self promotion never hurt either! www.papermodelforum.com I found this site while hunting for photos/research on the Saladin Armoured Car. There is at least one thread documenting the restoration of a Saladin that has already proven to be very helpful to my current project. I design, build (and sell) Scale Paper Models. www.papermodelshop.com Models built entirely of paper (cardstock). My kits are available as a digital PDF file...you print out the Parts on standard sheets of Cardstock. Cut out the parts with scissors and knife, glue and assemble. I have many free models on my website, but papermodelshop.com is my online store. Aircraft are my primary sellers...I have a couple of hundred kits in my store. But I also do vehicles and other stuff. Mainly just to support my hobby...it helps keep me in paper and ink! I have also enjoyed creating some larger scale models that impress with their size. 1/12 and 1/16 scale stuff. Although its a challenge creating a structurally sound design that is still easy to build. My skills as a modeller are limited, so I try to design kits that beginners can handle. My last big scale model was a 1/16 Centurion Tank. Please take look at some photos here: Before that, I did a large scale model of Little Willie (Lincoln Machine No.1) and before that, a 1/16 WW1 Canadian Armoured Car More photos here: (Wille) (Autocar) My latest project was a suggestion from a forum member. I usually know little or nothing about my subjects, but I learn a lot while researching. I am fascinated by more obscure subjects and I like to pick a model subject that hasn't been tackled before. At least not, in paper model form. I'm still in the early stages of design work on the Saladin.
