OOOH! AHHH! There are more than a few there I would really like to meet up close and personal. You fellows in UK and DE have great chances to see one-another's efforts and swap notes.

Thanks fellows, I believe some here have seen some of our work before the lockdowns at Yorkshire wartime experience, but we no longer do that show due to costs of getting all that up there in 2 vehicles.

Next week we have Melton Mowbray. Would suit some of you Grantham club members to come down and have a look. Bring a tank if you wish and run it on our pitch We won’t turn you away but it must be wwii

My AEC needs a Matt clear coat though. It’s a little bright for my liking and is painted in the same paint as the Achilles. Just doesn’t have the clear coat because it’s not finnished let

You've got quite a nice stable there Mr. Brute!

Plus lots of respect for transporting, setting up, showing and breaking them all down. Taking photos of just 4 of mine was a bit of a chore a month ago.

Thanks Mrchef. Not everything on the table is mine. My collection is the British, soviet and American. The German stuff belongs to my dad
