Joris Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I love those things, to me they are the best looking vehicles of WWII. If I ever get rich.... Luckily enough there are a M3 an M4 high speed tractor in Overloon so I'll soon be able to drool over them again. :bow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodge Deep Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 They always look to me like something made from the leftovers of a few airfix models! Like 'em though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Indeed, the closed cabs look very futuristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 They always look to me like something made from the leftovers of a few airfix models!Like 'em though!! Not unlike the green tracked vehicle in Space 1999. Still have my Dinky example. The snaps of the tractors in the new Pearsons book are just stunning (as is the rest)...I remember one at Beltring a few years back. Think there was a Minitanks version. Sure there was. But I have to say I've always preferred the tractor Adrian has (happy memories of it in the Hop Farm arena - and have some great snaps somewhere) and I recall building the Hasegawa kit - 1/72nd scale - in the mid 70s.

See, when you start counting a certain type of HMV, there's always more than you can imagine. Anyone wants to make a guess as to how many surviving Sherman tanks and related AFVs there are? - Hanno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
