[Panzer Soldaten]

Hi guys, Andy here, an ex-tankie from Bolton in the North Wet of England with 9 years regular service and 3 years in the TA. Fought in the first Gulf War and served in the UK and BAOR. Served on Chieftains, Challengers 1&2, Scorpion, Scimitar, 432, Sultan and Spartan, Stalwarts and the usual range of MT vehicles. Anyone need any advice (or a driver / crewman etc. just let me know). I'm considering converting a Ural motorcycle combination to a copy of a BMW R75 and need some colour photos from WW2 to guide me on the correct colour schemes / camouflage and equipment etc. All help greatfully recieved.
