tomk Posted November 15, 2008 Report Posted November 15, 2008 I want to do a diorama of the 1947 Palestine Civil War. What kind of vehilces did the British have in Palestine at that time?
Mark Aldrich Posted November 16, 2008 Report Posted November 16, 2008 Hello, Since that was a year before Israel declared it's Independence, there are a few options. The Sherman, Cromwell, Staghound and the jeep to get you started. http://www.britains-smallwars.com/Palestine/units.html This is a list of units that were there from 45 - 48 Mark

Mark Aldrich Posted November 17, 2008 Report Posted November 17, 2008 Tom, Hope it helps. If you know a specific unit, vehicle or idea, I have lots of photo reference. However, it is mostly of Middle East Countries as opposed to British vehicles. Mark

tomk Posted December 2, 2008 Author Report Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks Mark I will get back to you. tomk Mark, One of the themes for next year's Glue Crew (Wasau Wi) show is "the year you were born". I was born in 1947. The main conflict that year was the Palestine Civil War. The book/movie Exodus was about that conflict. I'm looking for a diorama about that conflict to do. Any thoughts or references would be appreciated. thanks for your help...tomk
Mark Aldrich Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Tom, I have never seen the movie, but that would probably be your best bet. Do a scene from the movie. From the information I have read, there were numerous clashes between the different factions. However, I have not yet found any ARMOR INVOLVED data. Mark

There was the bombing of the King David Hotel. A jail break and clashes between British, Arabs and Jews. In one riot a staghound was used to take people out. Thanks Mark for your interest and help. tomk
Mark Aldrich Posted December 4, 2008 Report Posted December 4, 2008 Tom, If you plan to use the Staghound, I would recommend Italeri's just on the ease of building. I just finished my Bronco one about a month ago and with all the small parts, Italeri's would be an esier build and I think it is cheaper too.
