  1. I wonder if maybe we are missing the point Mark was trying to make here - Leaving aside the logistics , the possibility of sabotage , the willingness or otherwise of the troops . I believe the question - pure and simple is - Was the machinery built & used by the Germans and their allies better designed & mechanically superior ?

     

     

    Thank you I am glad that someone could put into proper england that I could not :-D

  2. Ever since I was a kid building Airfix models, I always had a tendency towards the German kit, always thought it was better quality, build and looking, but was it the same in real life in those times, I believe it was and still do I think the machines gave off a sense of quality, a build that was meant to carry out what the designers set out in their objective/scope.

     

    This is the real humdinger.......if the allies did not have the overpowering mass of equipment, would they have overcome the superior stuff that they were facing.

     

    Opinions please gentleman and ladies

  3. Hi Guys

    A couple of questions about the lightweight that you could probably answer.

     

    1. The heater box gets hot and the fan you can hear going but nothing comes out the hoses to the screen, before I start stripping it down is there an easy solution to this ?

     

    2. The speedo does not work until it gets to 40 mph I have been told that there is a plastic gear that normally goes and can be replaced, if this is correct can they be bought ?

     

    Many thanks in anticipation. :-D

  4. Mark,

     

    Have not got a stamp for a postcard, so will write it here.............doubtful if there is any Metric threads on your Lightweight, unless someone has put some rogue bolts in it. From new they were mostly UNF, with some BSF mainly on the axles.........and possibly gearbox

     

     

    Many thanks Richard I have loads of them handy.
