I have Googled until I’m blue in the face and have yet to find more than a couple of pics of the thing. Ideally I need plans or decent pics of the turret, which I believe is also known as the “Vickers Universal Turret”. I’m doing a Vickers Mk7/2 for a campaign, and as a starting point, bought a partially built Trumpeter Osorio to get a look at that turret, but I think it’s too small, but appears to be about the right shape.
Any ideas on where I might find info on the actual turret? I can work from good pics if it’s the turret on the Leo hull, to give me an idea of size. I’ve even looked on WoT and found next to nothing…

Russell I don’t know if you’ve seen this web site/page, it has information and several photos of the 7/2 in both early and later configuration. There is also a photo of a line up Chieftain, Chally 1, Leo 2, Abrams and the 7/2 on the end.
May help if you haven’t seen it already.
Getting info for a SST Chimera “Goliath” build from this site. Hunting for Chally 2 Hydragas suspension units but need 7 per side.

I still have that tab up on my laptop. 
That photo is in a couple of reference books I have too, which is what got me interested in building one. If I have to I’ll build the turret from the pics I’ve found so far, but it wouldn’t be terribly accurate.
I did find, on eBay, 3D printed models of the Mk7/2 and if it weren’t for cost, I’d order one in 1/72 and scale it up, but they are esspensivo.
