UK-113 Humber MK I turret hull mismatch issue

[supertsar]

Finally getting around to painting my UK-113 "Humber MK I" pack and while researching what colors to use I have discovered that the turret and hull are not a historically accurate combination.
The turret has the .50 vickers combo mount - this was only used on the GUY MK I armored car. The GUY hull is similar to the Humber MK I hull except that the rear fender/stowage slants downward on the GUY. The US-113 pack has a horizontal rear fender/stowage so it is correctly a Humber MK I hull.

The GUY MK IA armoured car had the turret with the long Besa 15mm HMG. That is the turret that should have been included with US-113. It is the same turret as the HUMBER MK II (UK-51). So easy fix, everyone will need to to get a spare gun sprue from Pack UK-51 to fix these. Then we will have a correct Humber MK I. They were first used in the desert.

Incidentally the UK-113 pack does make a passable GUY MK I armored car. If GHQ could tweak that rear fender/stowage it would be great!
Those served in France in 1940.

Might as well pass on some links to my references while I have them up. War Wheels dot net is great.

The booklet "British Armoured Cars" by B.T. WHITE is old but accurate.

Did you contact GHQ about this? they might be able to fix the problem.

Last time I contacted GHQ about an issue, they never bothered to respond. There do seem to be more errors occurring than before so I wonder whether GHQ's research team has some less experienced people than it used to have.
