The vagaries of digital-photography! That
dark one down the bottom right is the same vehicle as the one to its left and
the one on the far left in the upper image! But flash aside, you can see that
both carriers are different shades of green polymer, and also differ from their
own crew's plastic-colours. Painting (if you feel one or two stab-and-hope
blobs of pink qualify for the moniker 'painting'!) between the crews also
varies quite a bit.
I hope Chris won't mind my pointing out
that some of these shots are not the best images (he's only just got his camera
and I understand these are some of the first shots taken), but they get the job
done. As well as being copies of the Britains
slush-cast Bren Gun Carrier, these TAT machines carry copies of the Britains hollow-cast crewmen, which
strangely I happen to have a set of in storage, so when they are out and the
missing Tri-Ang officer from this
morning turns up we will return to the subjects again.
Also I think I'm right in saying this and
the Britains donor ARE Bren Gun Carriers,
while the later Dinky toy and the
miniscule Airfix one are actually Universal Carriers - with the boxy body?
