I dont know about anyone else I want to see the pictures of the Prof in suspenders
Sorry to disappoint, but this is the un-boxing section on the RC Tank Warfare forum, not the weird fetish section on whatever other forum you frequent Shaun

A boy would be German, and a girl would be any of the allies and Italian I believe
But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong
The men who actually won the war would like a word with you.

Whatever are you smoking?
As a war historian, I thought you would have got that the allies referred to their war machines as feminine (she's a great little battler, ride etc), and the Germans as masculine, with the German equivalent of he instead of she.

It's something we call a "joke." It's a quaint little interaction...

That's ok, I was being sarcastic, which is allegedly the lowest form of wit

HAH!
I can appreciate that.
I have just spent an evening with historical wargamers. Good folks. But...some of them are very, very dry. So I tend to immediately get a cringey feeling if I'm not understood. "No, really, I didn't mean it -that- way." It is a very interesting point you made, though, incidentally. Hungarian tanks also tend to be female; Fins too, from what I gather. I've never had the chance to ask a Japanese tanker (beware, that's an opening for a series of new bad jokes. I can feel it in my bones.) I would legitimately be interested to know that, though.

Modern Japanese are very much different from WW 2 Japanese.
Modern Japanese are far less brainwashed. One could say they are overly liberated.
Oh, and your "joke"
Don't give up the day job

I'm so proud; cigars for everyone.
My new HL arrived.
In the process of weathering and scuffing it up.
Will post pictures asap.
Well, I'm still here awaiting the promised un-boxing, is it coming?
Or should I pack up my things and vacate this thread

As Spike Milligan used to say .................oh shut up and let em get on with eeeeeeeettttt "!!!!!"
Got to say though, hell of a build up, would want to get a ball-tearer!!
As long as it arrives safe, no damage, and we get to share in the new-borns arrival, that'll do pig-that'll do
