| Subject: | Bishop (Valentine0 questions |  |
| Date: | Nov 6, 2003 |
| From: | Stefen Karver | |
G'day, TL Forum readers,
I started working on the VM Bishop and have the following detail questions:
1. The casement bottom, part 1, is molded with an open center area. I assume there was actually a subfloor to the fighting compartment, including some soupport for the otherwise cantilevered gun mount. Can anyhone help with documentation or educated speculation?
2. Should some part of the driver's twin periscopes protrude externally within their smeicircular bullte shields?
3. Were all desert Bishops overall sand (Middlestone?) over factory green, or is there any evidence for "cloud" camouflage? And what is a good Tamiya mix or straight-from-the-bottle choice for British armour green?
TIA and best to all,
Stefen
