Bumbling through the Cromwell build allows me to really appreciate the skill and enterprise that went into this conception. This, like the Matilda, is an actual joy to behold

Re: M48 MBT – The Cold War Warrior – scratch built report
there was an idea of a well known company in the east, probably will be releasing an M60, but after all the project was canceled…but who knows, maybe another one grabs this taskBarryC wrote:More Awesomeness!
I am hoping to hold out for the M60 but I may not be able to!

Hinges for top vent covers:
