Nice tractor reminds me that Armortek could do an m25 dragon wagon that would be pretty cool.

...but, but if you're building a model you wouldn't really be a bored retired engineer, would you? :D

That is awesome transporter! Wow! I agree a M26/M25 would be incredible - but huge! 10 feet long!

Armortek and tanks in general make great "retirement" projects! Now if I could only retire....

Yes, superb models. I read the article in the Daily Telegraph online in my daily news feed and jumped to scribe something about it on the Forum but obviously been beaten to it!

Still, excellent publicity for the Company and spreads the gospel to those not in the know.

My scratch built Diamond T with Armortek Comet on board. It's just over 11 feet long.

Apparently the Firefly and transporter are to be auctioned at Cheffins in Cambridge later in April and it has a reserve of £25000 a bit optimistic I would think.
