Nerd!!! I would call you a rivet counter.... But I can't see any rivets! :smiling5:

I had to make one for stowage in a Stug I built a few years ago……it’s amazing what you can find on the internet…….

And here I was going to say their poses were getting better. :smiling6: :tears-of-joy: Passed the audition for lead Bangra dancer.

Just out of interest, do modern oil drums differ that much from their WW2 forebears.....

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

You could convert one of those from a standard Land Rover kit and suspension parts from a CVR(T) kit

IMHO, most of the 1:35 scale kits are a complete waste of time to re-release … There are far better kits of the M4A3E2 and the halftracks (well, except the M21, but those were hardly used in the real world anyway) and of the Marder II. Only the Marder 1A2 has no real alternatives.

I think it is called flogging a dead horse, and getting as much work out of it before the market dies.

That Triumph is a real triumph. The spokes are superb, along with all the cabling. 3D printed and plastic mix I assume…..

The landie's we used in Aden were all sand, no camo. We were in the town though, not up country.
