Re: Wireless sets for the universal carrier
Well John, it is just my love to determin photographs in detail in which art and craft I was trained by colleagues when I worked at the Netherlands Army Museum. The photoes come direct from http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/showthread.php?t=12391. They are a treasure trove with much interaction of C...

Re: Wireless sets for the universal carrier
Hello All, on the black and white photo of the airial view of a Carrier there is a blue box named "Battery Charger". On the MapleLeafUp-site and others I found it: probably in jargon it's called a Chorehorse and was made during WW2 by the Outboard Motoring & Manufacturing Company of Canada Limited. ...

Re: Magazine bags and pouches Bren Carrier
Hello All, Thanks very much for sharing all information. My books cannot tell everything in such details as e.g. the three volumes by Mr. Nigel Watson that have unfortunately illuded me :-) I have already found out that trying to deal with British and Canadian Universal Carriers (UCs) at the same ti...

Magazine bags and pouches Bren Carrier
Hello, "In the back" the Bren carrying Universal Carriers stashed a number of leather cases for Bren Gun magazines. How many did they carry? On the website Mapleleafup I saw a small canvas pouch for two magazines stashed in a bracket to the left of the Bren Gun slot. I guess the two magazines were k...

25 Pounder with special benefits
Hello, After years of building, delays and others projects my 25 Pounder build comes to an end. To friends in my 1/6th Appgroup I showed Dave’s resin models of the leather cases that were to be mounted on the back of the shield. I asked them for advice how to credibly paint leather. I was told it is...

curved bracket(s) on shield 17 Pounder
Hello Everybody, can anyone tell me the purpose of the curved, wave like bracket(s) on top of or between the two plates of the shield of some 17 Pounder AT Guns? I can imagine it has to do with breaking up the profile for camouflage reasons but I cannot find any proof. Were there specific British an...
