Jon

not yet trying to get a look at one in the flesh

have spotted these in my local asda/walmart for £40
as you say gareth need to see them in the flesh lol

As an armoured recce man for 22 years,you can imagine how eager I am to get hold of one . Looking at tht picture this what I feel req. sorting.

Running gear looks good, has it any suspension?

Upper hull- here is where the mish mash begins, I think when the model was designed, they used various pictures to make a composit. An example on the front deck, there seems to be a cover around the front sponson, this was a erectable skirt like a D Day sherman, that was removed in the late seveties.the head lights slung under the sponson, again earlier version, whereas the engine and gearbox decks are from the updated diesel conversion obviously the hatch is to big but correct shape. bin stowage looks ok but would have dig out photos to be sure.
Turret- again little mish mash Smoke grenade dischargers are from a Scorpion, 3 in a line. scimitar has 4, 2 up 2 down manlet is ok apart from the obvious gun again stowage seems ok rear bin seems to have cloth cover, but is metal. I'll only mention the turret top goes without saying.
As I said I to see it in the flesh with a ruler and calipers but for the right price i may take a shot
