Hi, Charlie. Well done on the update.

Have you noticed that one of the drawings is of the first prototype, which had the turret and cupola moulded in one piece?

Hi Thanks Charlie for the update...
James do you mean the patent or the 1918 manual, the drawings in both are more or less identical and presumably are from the first prototype with cast hull/ turret parts...
Plus a secound presumably later prototype or early production Vehicle which has lost its cast rear components and gained a revised cupola/hatch...

Pictures added for clarity..

Cheerswink
