Re: Bristol Armoured Division
I decide to create a tank low loader trailer. This is using a trailer made by Bruder, cutting it in half and extending it. You can see the middle extension bit in the photo below.... it looks a bit of a mess at the moment but who cares. Even got a few lights on it. I think this is a cheap way of making a tank trailer.
Not quite sure why I am making trailer as have nothing to tow it.... I may use a tank to tow it to start with

Novel and interesting. Maybe, once (or if) the Heng Long 6 wheeler comes out, you can make a tractor unit from that.

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
I was thinking of using one of the new Heng Long trucks that have just come on the market, but not sure whether that would look right (too small). The real answer is a proper Tamiya truck but they aren't cheap so probably will not be doing that.....silversurfer1947 wrote:Novel and interesting.

Ah thats good to hear. glad your day was a success.silversurfer1947 wrote:Sorry you could not make it. We have had a good day. Don't worry about not having a tank. You will find it beneficial to see as range of tanks, both design and makes and have a good chat with us before making your first purchase. There is no charge for looking!

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
Would anyone in the group be interested in a Clark TK-22 for a T-34, im replacing all my boards with something else, so thought id see if anyone in our group wants it before I chuck it in the general sale bit.

Re: Bristol Armoured Division
Unfortunately, my T-34 already has a TK-22. So far as I'm aware, no-one else has a T-34, but you never know.
