Yup, it's been quietly running on one of my servers ever since the changeover :D

When the new forum was started, I felt there was a lot of knowledge and experience from the older kits which was worth saving, so Gill kindly allowed me to take a backup and resurrect the old forum and gallery.

It should be noted that a majority of the ideas and improvements from those early days have been incorporated by Mark into the newer tank designs, but they may still help people putting together the original Mid and Early Tigers.

It's frightening to think that the changeover happened 8 years ago :!:

Adrian.

And fascinating stuff it is too ........ :D

I found some build pictures from when Brian Oliver originally assembled the Panther I now look after - back in 2007 ! That satisfies both my curiosity, and desire to record history.

I agree with Adrian - archives like this are too important to be allowed to just fade away.

Thanks,

Chris
