Magnificent, David, another brave feat of model engineering.

Good to see you've got the Fitters' hotel on the back, aside from the bridgelayer, the worst thing in the battle gruop to camouflage in a wet wood at night. You'll have to include some "slabs" of Tennants in the back - the fee extorted by the Recy (recovery) Mechs for recovering bogged tanks. I recall one of ours also had an engineer's workbench on the front and oxy-acetylene tanks and welding gear which was also used for cutting the tracks on a bogged tank. (Yes, the manual provided instructions for blowing them off with PE but in peacetime, we weren't trusted with explosives).

Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.

Thanks for sharing the pics.

Stephen

Very nice job.

Stephen, the Cent ARV Mk2 carried a set of Oxy-Acetylene bottles as standard equipment, housed in the light sheet steel locker on the front right corner of the upper superstructure. They slid in at an angle.
