. Hi Graham.   Thanks,   the reason I asked was I have some original rear lamps for the earliest M3 ( Stuart ) light tanks of WWII and they are in orange cartons and then over wrapped with a cosmoline wrap., I don't have then to hand today to photograph and post.  Best wishes for the eventual rebuild.       Norman D.

I rolled my own to go on my proto middy clone.    

Many folks in Hollywood were veterans and the DOD worked closely with Hollywood for accuracy. 

The Evarts never operated as a cargo vessel. It was modified and completed as a troopship immediately after launching.     Source:  Liberty Cargo Ship, James Davies, ww2ships.com

Hi Ken The mirror heads are unfortunately copies. However they are a very good copy, and have the 'dull' reflection like the originals. I took the 3 he had! There are also some copy body work panels, screen frame and top hat sections. I grabbed what he had, as my project is a bit of an unknown. The body needs a lot of work! There are, however a lot of lovely take off items there. I did spot a few 'F' stamps too! Cheers! Graham

. Sunday morning  coffee before the week's Chaos begins.  Five minutes after this photo the heavens opened and the torrential downpour arrived.  As I don't carry a canvas roof I just continued sitting there and watching while drinking my coffee, and my ' snake-oil ' coating was working its wonders repelling the downpour.      Norman D.
