Attack Kits has recently released a 1/72 Humber III. It is a nice kit, but looking at their instructions online, on the bottom right corner of the link provided, there appears to be a Humber turret built with two 7.7mm Besas. This is seen in step VIII. link
On the wikipedia page, there appears to mention a Mark II variant, an observation post with two Besa 7.7mm. However, I can not find any photographs of this car. link Does anyone know whether the Attack Kit optional variant with the twin 7.7mm Besas existed? |

The only armament I've seen for Humber armoured cars is 15-mm and coax 7.92-mm Besa in the MkI, II and III, and 37-mm with coax 7.92-mm in the MkIV. There was a Rear Link version of the MkIII, the stowage scheme for which identifies the 15-mm and 7.92-mm as 'dummy' guns. There was a lot of discussion on OP vehicles for RA units, I can't say the ref to a Humber OP rings a bell. Gary |
