Hello Bubbajoexx and Oz,if that is a model then the picture I found is not it.The first Picture in the series is different than the other KT's,if you look closely the front fendors stop even with the top of the clevis bracket,the other KT's seem to stop at the bottom of the bracket,this is the round welded piece where the tow clevis pin goes through.I could be wrong but that is what struck me as odd about the picture.It is a very interesting subject as we all know these guy's did a lot of in field mods for many reason's,cheers guy's Blake

I went back and took a closer look at these pictures,it seems I am wrong about the fendor on the Kt,it is missing part of a front fendor on one side,the other thing is another photo that you guy's might have an interest.It's a Sherman with a long barrel as I am not very knowledgeable of Shermans maybe you guy's can enlighten me. http://www.v-like-vintage.net/de/jahre/ ... NmNZC2cw== second picture,first row,going left to right.Sax

the pic of the sherman is the infamous 17 pounder firefly with out the radio box on the turret and is using the long wheelbase grizzly chassis
