They started them in 1945. A few even made it to the continent before the war ended but they didn't reach the front in time so they never saw combat.



Pulled from Wiki- " Full production began in November 1945 with an order for 800[21] on production lines at Leyland Motors, Lancashire ......"


I grew up in Leyland and Leyland Motors let the kids climb all over their Cent' when they had open days (thats what got me into tanks).

That's got to win some kind of award for worst state of delivered item ever!!!
Very lucky to have the kit though -looking forward to seeing build.

DHL dropped it at my local P.O. for delivery. The P.O. tagged it as "damaged upon receipt" placed it in a plastic bag and delivered it.

Good morning,
DHL from Germany is notorious for this sort of nonsense. ( I think I told you guys about the opened and partially eaten Christmas cookies ) It's the major factor that keeps me from buying whole vehicles from great sites like RCTanks.de I know for a fact that it would never get here in one piece.

DHL, that explains it all.

I better have a word with Christian about the packing when he send my kit over

IMO it was the excellent packing by Chris that prevented what was inside from getting out however placing everything inside in plastic would be an excellent idea.
