The ammo cupboards look spectacular. Mr Louis had a nice radio cabinet setup in his Nashorn. I used some pictures and took quite a bit of liberty with mine in afraid

This is the clearest diagram I could find that shows how the radio's mounted, you'll want to click on it to view it full-size. There aren't many photos that show the radio in situ, I think the Aberdeen Nashorn still has the bracket attached though.

Thank you gentlemen for your help and assistance. It looks as though the receiver/transmitter sits in quite an intricate mounting, which in turn fits into the surrounding frame. I fear mine will be somewhat simpler, but hopefully, will give the desired overall impression.

Think I'll hope some one figures it out before mines delivered and copy with pride!

http://shop.afvmodeller.com/customer/pr ... 387&page=1 I already have my radios and though it was tempting, I shall continue with my original plan. I think it would be fairly easy for anyone with more talent than I to convert it to suit a Nashorn, so I am posting this for the benefit of anyone else who purchases one of Alwyn's masterpieces.
