In good condition, and complete £10 posted UK

no combat is PC, or complies with HSE, as for a bystander loitering close enough to a firing CR2/3 to be struck by a falling stub, I think he would be more concerned with his perforated ear drums........

Evening all,

I think its fantastic news that a home grown design in whatever form has been chosen. Similar to how all war ships must be built in this country, the thought of procuring our main battle tanks from another country is inexplicable, from a security point of view,  to support home grown industry and maintain an up to date home grown knowledge base on tank design. If god forbid we ever did need to go to war and we had procured tanks from foreign shores, even if the supplying nation wasn’t the enemy, you only need them to disagree with our reasons for going to war and they could pull support, who knows in this day in age with everything being electronic, they could even shut the vehicles down remotely.

too late-this is already happening with overseas supplied vehicles and fighters!

the original RR CV12 TCA has plenty of scope for more power, and as always, it was detuned to go into challenger 1. fast forward to now, and although RR engines became perkins, then CAT, I believe a beefed up version of the CR2 pack has been trialled. the MTU engine is an older design to the CV12.

Bulldogs are ok with the 6 cyl cummins, but you can't beat the noise of a supercharged 2 stroke diesel!

All the running gear, engine, transmission and road wheels are interchangeable between AS90 and Warrior along with many smaller parts.

er, I thought Warrior has the Rolls Royce CV8, while the AS90 has the Cummins

tell me if I'm wrong.........

clickbait!

Be quick-real nice diesel Scimitar on Brightwells Auction-finishes 30th

get a large adjustable open the front flap and turn the cranskaft pulley to make sure the engine/ starter are not stuck, then as mentioned before, with someone flicking the starter switch, clout the starter body with a proper hammer.

other than that, I think it is pack out.

PS, I have seen someone disc cut an access panel in the hul. Neat job-worked well, but a bit drastic!

don't paint at 6 degrees or less. If its damp don't paint. Alway try to paint under cover, and be wary of diesel space heaters as they throw out particles which will contaminate your paint.

sprayed some items last night, prepped them first, hung on the radiator to warm through, then out into the workshop, a light 'mist' coat. wait 'till touch dry, then a nice even full coat. Once touch dry, back indoors hung to go off overnight.Even touch dry if you leave them out it can bloom (milky dull finish) and probably be running in condensation!  

I think if I paid £31200 on some new rubber for my motor and it only lasted 1300 miles I'd be straight round Kwik Fit for a refund...

there are two replacement track systems for cvrt, a steel one, made by Diehl, with knock out replaceable pads, and a continuous rubber track made by a Canadian firm I believe. Both were trialled by the MoD

Always a gentleman and a pleasure to be around, an  ambassador and asset both to our hobby and to the forces.

a great loss

What did Cook Defence say, out of interest?

Andy, can you get a price on a trackpad using the nsn?

regards

terry

choosing the right medium is critical, i seem to remember in trials, a polymer gave the best results.

don't forget the nylon washers!

just a thought-has anyone actually asked cook defence for a price on the real thing?

depends how many you buy and how you want them shipped

get a price on say 3 or 4 sets-i'm sure there will be plenty of takers over here

air mail may be a tad pricey though!

gents, there is already a guy down under manufacturing and selling pads

details are on the 432 forum

pm sent

when they were released with paperwork, it was straightforward to register, but they stopped the paperwork, so it became impossible to register them.

I have the paperwork 😉

are there any groups who have ww1 railways equipment? Some years ago, there was a group displaying one at w&p-any ideas how I get in contact with them?

thanks

Terry

so basically there are three types of replicas;

1. ones that try to replicate originals, built by enthusiasts

2. those built to order by professionals for film or museum

3. those built by an enthusiast, to please themselves, built in their own style, with a certain artistic licence, without having to religously  mimic another

trouble is

1. people will always pick fault with it.

2. big budget replicas are beyond the reach of most of us

3.what the hell, I like it. I built it and I'm enjoying it

I and some friends made two vehicles: German A7V and a Carden Loyd MG Carrier. Nothing wrong with that at all. Just don't pass them off as real ones.....

....and damn good they were too!

looking for a large shell for a display-does anyone know of one that might be available?

thanks

a simple, cost effective solution would be to change it to a readily available spin on filter-simple to change, might be an idea to speak to Robin Craig on this forum.....
