Mark V* - funny "V"-shaped protector to radiator cover
Permalink   


I'm busy doing the conversion from a Mk IV to a Mk V* (I should have stopped when I read in the magazine article that the auther had never built a tank before).  In some of the pictures, the twin-louvre cover to the LHS radiator cover has been replaced by an inverted "V" shaped piece of substantial metal.

Does anyone know where this came into use or was it a quick fix in the field to replace the louvres broken off?

It seems to me as though it was a field improvisation to stop muddy water being sucked in. I don't believe it was on every Mk V*.
