fesm_ndt Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 G'Day everyone will be drooling over the Matilda's when you start rebuilding. yes you should take more photos as: - for us - for you as makes it easier to put things back together if you have a photo of before you disassembled it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan turner (RIP) Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 looks like the carapace of an M3 Lee/Grant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Most likely it's a Grant 2 -an M3A3 medium tank with the british turret the hull is welded rather than riveted. It looks like it still has its T number Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
