Hi Glen.

Sorry to see you go, and for your particular reason. I can see that a Mark-1 model will be easier for you to handle.

I don't know where you are with your back injury but I wish you well and hope you make a full recovery.

Maybe when Mark makes a Universal Carrier we'll see you back on the Forum ? :wink: :wink:

Adrian.

Hi Glen
Although we have never chatted or debated I wish you well with you new direction, I too have a mark 1 tank, a Chally2, The supplier of a lot of Marks models are Russian, and a such you might find the build is simple but robust..
They are reliable but do have a few querks, I not sure if you are staying with 1/6 or going to 1/8 either way I hope that you get the enjoyment from it that you deserve. A friend of mine has just recieved a 1/8 Tiger from Mark 1 and seems to be pleased with it.
I'm not sure about a Bren Gun Carrier as the next model but the light weight BMD 1 with swimming gear might be interesting.
