Thank`s Guy`s The gun mount was a part of the hatch ring but the British tended to use the smaller .303 browning m/g, it was less cumbersome and used the same ammunition as the bow and co-axial machine guns. If you don't have a .303 m/g the kit supplied .50 always looks impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stuart Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Not sure which vehicle you are going for, but I see a Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry option (with wader) on the decal sheet. Looking through James Holland's Brothers in Arms (history of that regiment in NW Europe), you don't often see photos of guns mounted on their turrets. There is a photo of a 24th Lancers' Sherman in the book with mounted MG, but not SRY as far as I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read the book 'Tank Action' The story of David Render joining the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry on D-Day+5 and on to the end of the war. He mentions the danger of snipers in Normandy so tank commanders were not sticking any part of their bodies out of the hatch for any reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
