First set of pics are before , second after a good clean Dave

Hi Dave,

Your B167 and the 2 inch mortar display look great. Did you create this yourself? I would like to have a similar display.

I have about 12 of the B167's and about the same number of the bigger B166's and am hoping to get dummy PIAT rounds for those
I also have 15 of the wooden WAECO boxes which I think took 6 x 36 grenades.

I do a bit of living history using my Fordson WOT2 as a re-supply unit.

Regards
Barrie

Hi Dave ,
Many thanks for your reply, if you do go ahead with the carrier please let me know. By then I should have worked out how to operate this site.
