I haven't the faintest idea where Steve got his cycle from - I don't think I've ever seen one with tracks instead of wheels.

Maybe here?

How on earth would you steer that with just one track?

Wouldn't know - probably why it's fell by the wayside! :tears-of-joy: :smiling5::smiling5:

Not exactly spots on the internet, but you may want to keep an eye out for some TV programs
They appear on 'Talking Pictures' channel and have the prefix IWM ...............
They can be out & out propaganda shorts from WWII, or recruiting films ( all very dated & products of their time ) - I saw one recently called 'Streaked Lightning' which showed Lightnings from 74 Sqn. in the early 60's. A recruiting film from the RAF, prewar had some superb film of service biplanes, some of which I had difficulty naming!
These programs are broadcast fairly irregularly, and usually at some godforsaken hour, so a recorder is essential.
Often the dialogue is stilted, but you can see contemporary eguipment in use...........

I’ve seen a few of these over the years Dave. Squadron 992 is worth the time if you come across it. It’s about deployment of a barrage balloon unit and shows kit in action that is not commonly seen.

Price seems to be £6.60 ( + p&p ), which for 5 colours & matt varnish is pretty good ( OK they're 12ml bottles ). I wonder who is the manufacturer - Hataka?

From MiniArt - 'new model coming soon'

Motley crew, more like it - although Lee W hints at a film connection ( which is lost on me! ).
Sounds like a bad joke - A Frenchman, an Australian, an American, an Englishman and an African find a tank.........................

Dave,

Lulubelle - was featured in a film called "Sahara".



Personally, never seen the film so couldn't say what the storyline is!! :tongue-out3:

HTH,

Paul.

[Tim Marlow]

Not a film I’ve seen or heard of either, and I like old black and white movies?

Going by the tank commander, this seems to be based on the 1995 film with Jim Belushi, not the 1943 film with Humphrey Bogart that it’s a remake of.

I’ve seen the former once, long ago, and I think I’ve seen part of the latter when I came across it on TV once upon a time. Certainly not bad movies, worth the watch if war movies with tanks are your thing.
