Tony B Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Just aquired a number of military books, including 3 bound volumes of The War Illustrated. I have only flicked through them but this caught my eye seeing as Bren Carriers seem to be flavour of the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlienFTM Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Never seen this colour scheme before but I have to say I am not surprised. In the past I have banged on about the waste of time applying Micky Mouse Ear to a Jeep because there isn't enough side to the vehicle to make it worthwhile. The Bren Carrier fits in the same category IMO, with just a narrow side panel to cam. I saw this pic and immediately thought of how the barrels of (in particularly German) artillery pieces were painted with a similar sort of zigzag in a best effort to break up the obvious shape of a gun barrel. The camouflage therefore makes perfect sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davie Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Here is a pic of Nigel Watsons carrier at Beltring five or six years ago. He has written a book on carriers which has had very good reviews. follow this link for details. http://www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
