Nice build . I've always respected anyone who will build what they want their way if the manufacturer didn't make it to their spec's .Nice FC
Yes sir you are correct. My father spent a lot of time in WW2 in those sands. He had so much respect for the .303 British round that he acquired an SMLE for himself when he returned to the USA. Good luck & Happy trails. Rick OshayThe LRDG did use Bofors but they are 37mm anti tank guns, commonly mounted on the back of heavy trucks. The guns in the picture that look like a "ladder" in front of the jeep passenger seat are (VGO) or Vickers K machine guns mounted in pairs. .303 British cal. Originally made for use in airplanes, adjustable firing rate from 950-1200 rpm. They were used by the RAF until the Browning 1919 became standard issue for airplanes. Then the Vickers K were redistributed to other infantry groups. The LRDG liked them because the high rate of fire, light weight, and almost never jammed due to sand or dirt.
what are those ladder looking things that are in the jeeps?
