  1. They are, as all ORIGINAL fittings inside were. They also have a twin Main socket for domestic plugs.
  2. Trouble is Robin, There is shipping to the Uk on top of that!.....:(
  3. Just a toe in the Water here!...... I have been thinking about a VW Iltis for some time now. I wish I had bought that Ex Castle Martin one that was on here for a while. A couple of years ago. But I wasnt looking for one then!.....🙄 Anyone got a decent Ex Military One for sale? No rot or Damaged 'Specimen's' please! 😞😳 On the Road, & ready to drive off only! 👌
  4. Just a thought Steve, But you could have used the Tiger Tank in the Diorama. You could model it as a 'Destroyed / Knocked out' addition perhaps? Still could add it in? Just my thoughts as an Addition to this Fine looking Diorama!
  5. I suppose the only glimmer of hope on the Horizon may be. That when we FINALLY Extract from the Corrupt EU. We will no longer be bound by thier Dictatorial rules in most cases?......
  6. I had drum brakes on my RB44. Their Shoe's can also be relined.
  7. It is in Service Now, & has been for a few years.
  8. Grenades do not have fuse that are 'Set' They are inserted. A 'setter' tool such as above, would be for a Mortar. Also the designation Fuse Setter, Hand L3A1. May well be the designation for the actual Tool.
  9. I THINK IT'S FOR THE NEW 60mm MORTAR?
  10. The engine compartments in Both Variants of 432, run VERY Hot indeed when used. In service, we always let a MK2 (K60 Pack) run for 15 minutes at tickover to cool down. After a Major road journey. Or on Exercise.This then allowed the Heat exchanger to do it's job properly. & disperse the heat. & then Thrown out by the Twin Fans, through the top engine louvres. It was a long time ago now, But I cant remember about the Mk.1 Petrol. If it had a heat exchanger, or a normal radiator system. I THINK it did have an exchanger?
  11. Looking at those Sterling pouches. Reminded Me I have two pairs in my collection. Both Mint unissued. I was REALLY lucky with one Pair. I purchased it at a Militaria Fair, & it had newspaper stuffed inside. This was to pad it out & look 'full/ better' presented on the table top. When I got home I obviously removed the newspaper. Guess what was inside? A sealed pattern label attached with cloth ties & a wax seal! Lucky, or what?
  12. Or alternatively. Do any of you helpful People know where I might source one of these Holders / Tray's at all? Thank You. Mike.
  13. Hello every bod Peeps! Anyone got one of these ammo trays they want to part with? Thanks in advance. Mike. 🙋‍♂️
  14. Just a small bit of advice on this procedure. But, once you have removed your Armour. IF, the majority of nuts are OK. It is a VERY good idea to run a Tap through each captive nut. To clean out the threads for reassembly. THEN use Copperslip on the Bolt threads when refitting Those as well. This WILL serve you well upon reassembly, & is good Workshop practice!
  15. I wonder if it emanates from the same place as the 'Nazi Gold Train'?...….:)
  16. Try D&B . There is little about all round at present. Due to uncertainty over BREXIT. People who have Deacts refuse to pay out extra & get them welded up solid to EU specs. And I think People most want to keep them in thier collection anyway. Not much is going to Happen until we extract from the Corrupt & Dictatorial EU is the bottom line at present!
  17. A Flame thrower most definitely IS a Sec.5 Firearm!...….Quote: 'Any item that discharges a Noxious substance'.... Talk to one of the Proofmaster's on the Phone at either London. Or Birmingham. They will be happy to advise. The Specs are available on the .Gov website. They are illustrated in B&W line drawings. Mortars are probably one of the easiest items to deactivate.
  18. All I have seen of thier stocks. is that they are more expensive than other dealers......
  19. Too late Dukey! He only had the one & it's just been sold to General Sir Anthony Farrer Hockley. Who said it as ideal for nipping down to the paper shop to collect his Daily rag!..... 'He who Hesitates'...…….
  20. Yes Ron, But He did replace the Doogammy flip lever & the Wassit Knob. So it all balances out in the end I guess?... It's valve caps were missing. & he only put these on to contain the original Dirt & air in the tubes. It's attention to detail like this. That preserves history you Know!......🤥
  21. Duke, I can get one for you Mate. It was used by General Browning Himself. He got it from Sosabowski Who got it from a Sergeant in the Airborne L.I MT Section. It's totally original including the Pizza Carrier Rack from Pizzaland, & only has 2 Miles on the clock. It needs a little 'Work' to remove the chrome & 20 mirrors. But the tyres Just hold Air & are the rare Totally smooth Desert Versions. It will pass an MOT if you put it through, as It is 'Original'!...…. I have it on impeccable authority from a bloke down the Pub. That this 'Gem' could be yours for ONLY £50,000. A Bargain in anyone's opinion for certain!...……………;)
  22. Poor Brick laying skills there Dukie! LOL. They should all be pointing the same way. Adding a Benefit of pointing 'The Way In'!
  23. It's from the H.M Armd forces range of Figures. Licenced by the MOD. This series / range has been discontinued for a few years now.
  24. Yes Crows Foot still is the In Service Colloquial name for the Arrow (Pheon) 😊
  25. Just a snippet of information. The Correct term for the WD Arrow is a 'Pheon'. As we live in a sad politicly correct age now, I thought that might be 'Appropriate' (?)...😁
