        I see all your points, Gents, which are far more consistent than mine as I was just thinking two were dancing Bangles' hit "Walk like an Egyptian" while the other two were evaluating their performance in a Army special edition of "X Factor"... :smiling4: .

            Just out of interest, do modern oil drums differ that much from their WW2 forebears..... It's just that they look remarkably similar to the 1/35 Tamiya WW2 ones I have...... But then I'm not an oil drum expert.....

                            I suspect it’s the decal sheet that makes them modern. Waiting for the Second World War and 1960s versions now …
