    Half price preowned from evilbay. Only thing wrong with it was a split box. Going to make it into a WWI army homing pidgeon loft.

      When i was in the Forces,guys always told me that us Plymouth Lads were considered to be a bit "Committed".......
      ..... and,in a modelling sense,you`re proving it all these years later!!
      Cracking idea for a build mate,very "Dad`s Army"!!

              Brilliant idea - those pigeons were really unsung heroes! Several tales of them on the internet.

                That is a very nice kit, though beware that the tracks are very tight around the wheels.

                    No, there is a box out there - think that John had them in stock a while ago.
                    Edit Miniart - £10.95 (less discount)

                          Scorpion Miniature Models do a great range of mods for Scorpion and Scimitar,as well as FV432 etc.
                          the replacement track guard makes a massive difference to the finished model.
