I was doing a similar thing 10 years ago.

I used both mongrel and MOFO Brits,

I had a platoon in 432s and reserves in Saxons

Did the same as yourself with tanks, the reserve kit being older but sitting in storage is common

This is why you will find the Centurions in the reserve slot of my British OBs, they have been pressed into service due to nesscessity  ;)
Would the UK have stocks of mk Vs rather than mk XIII?

The Centurion Mk V is such a classic cold war tank, it would be a shame not to include it in the OBs somewhere.

T-62 Platoon (Tiny Terrain Models)

Arrived yesterday afternoon and assembled at 06:00 hrs this morning  ;)



Very well sculpted and cast models, looking forward to getting some paint on them.

Challenger 2 Squadron (Empress Miniatures)



A little too late for my chosen period, however, I couldn't resist this great looking model. They have been cleaned up, undercoated black and given a dark green base coat with an airbrush.

The imperfections will be covered up with camo netting.

Those printed cents look decent - are they Butler's?

I think you answered your own question. I’m pretty sure that decent in terms of quality and Butler’s don’t belong in the sane sentence.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

That's correct, they are not Butlers, I will post a link to company this evening.

Somewhat unfair, I feel.  My experience is limited, but I've had some great models from Butler's: http://www.jemimafawr.co.uk/2019/04/25/some-m48-chaparral-sam-vehicles-butlers-printed-models/

To each their own I suppose.

What do you reckon this would look like in 28mm?
