Any help about AEC AVC(hp)

Hi guys,it's abraham,i'm trying to built an AEC AVC(HP),but i got say the AEC AVC(hp)'s pictures's really really hard to find.My primary reference's l4436145 from royal military museum and some photos by Steve Richard's books .Does anyone can provide me other pictures ?I'll be really appreciate it.thanks.

 

Quick question - what is a AEC AVC(HP) ?

 

oh,sry,use wrong words,AEC = armour commander vehicle (high power).like this one

That looks like a Dorchester 4x4 - the way I read the info on some of these sites is that the HP refers to a type built on the 6x6 chassis

In 1943, 7 Armoured Command Vehicle trucks were sent to the Australian army.

 

HP or LP describes the radio equipment fitted (high power or low power) and applies to all types of command vehicle - Armoured or Bedford QL based.
The "Trux" section of the forum provides more details under "Vehicles"

That 'Contribution to Victory' booklet is still excellent.

I have a feeling that I have seen a very thorough and detailed 1/35 model of the ACV in an old modelling magazine, I'll have a look for it.

Edit: I found the magazine and it is the Bedford QLR wireless truck not an ACV

 

A few pictures of ACV's both LP and HP

 

..and all I could find on interiors. LP I think.

 

Hi Bodston:
The interiors & the factory one that you show me's different from mine data.This's the first time i saw it.It's really help,thank you very much.Where did you find it ?

 

Hi Noel:
really thanks for your help,it's great information for me to figure out this vehicle.

Both pictures are from 'Wheels & Tracks' magazine, the interior was issue number 47 and the factory shot is in issue 56.

 

Hi Bodston , thanks.
