ID the Photo
Dear Friends:
Wayne suggested I post the historic photo and see if anyone can tell what it is.. I can't find the photo I saw about a month ago of a Bren gun carrier pulling at WW1 ish small wooden wheeled gun but tonight I found another picture that would be a good Diorama also. Got the Bren gun carrier with tank cannon 4.5? 6? and is it a German tank? I am in 1/32ish scale on Bren gun carrier. Hope to find models to bring to same scale. Enjoy, Miles I have been poking along on the carrier and will post more build photos in the near future

I can't identify the towed gun but the rest in the photo are Loyd Carrier and PzKpfw.V Panther.

The gun is an Ordnance QF 6 Pounder (57mm Anti-tank gun). The carriers weren't powerful enough to tow a 17 Pounder gun.
The question is - which model Panther A, D or G? Regards, Charlie |

That gun is Ordnance QF 6-pounder
Panther looks like it has "206" number on turret and a hole right in the middle of front .Burning tak in background? Sherman or M10 maybe? |

Dear Friends:
I can look at Brass band photos from the 1840's till 1900+ and note the instrumentation. I did not note that is is the Stretched Loyd Model and I did not note the hole in the German tank. World of tanks has a tank that would do now to search for the 6 PDR in a paper model. I assume that the photo is in Europe and not North Africa? I am still going to keep searching for the photo of the Carrier with early wooden wheeled gun, very tempted to just use the 1/76 gun on Landships II site and blow it up to 1/32 and just used the living history quote of If they had they would have used it. Thanks, Miles

Robototehnik has a 1:50 Universal Carrier but I don't think I've seen a model of the Loyd Carrier.

Coincidentally, yesterday, while I was looking for another model to build, I found the Loyd Carrier in our downloads section. Looks pretty nice but unfortunately, it's unpainted. B&W only. I'd also add some more parts to it.
I think it would be a good base for a paper model of the Loyd Carrier but it certainly needs some additional work like repainting. http://www.papermodelers.com/forum/v...ownloadid=2455 The photo must be from Europe as no Panther tanks were present in North Africa. It's hard to tell from that one photo which variant of PzKpfw V it is. However, I've found an interesting picture and if we compare the tank from our photo to the tanks in that picture, then the Ausf G seems to be the right one.

Miles -= very very interesting photo! Thanks for sharing...
Kacper - I think you are spot on with your identification. I have been through my reference books and it certain looks correct in relation to the details and photos I can find. The Loyd carrier and 6 pounder look like a permamanet combination there - the extended version would then make sense. Note the spare 6 lb'er wheeel also mounted on the front of the carrier. I cant make out what the tank in the distance is...

Dear CharlieC:
The Robotech Carrier is the one I am Currently go 80% done it is an easier build at 1/32 than at the 1/50. Has any one seen a paper model of the 6PDR gun? Thanks for the help Miles I hesitate to use the word 'Love" but I love the lone Electric/Phone pole in the photo
