New Tank from Copplestone.
« on: 11 July 2008, 11:52:14 PM »
Either I'm way behind the times or I'm the first, I wandered over to Copplestone castings to see if he has posted his next special and found instead a Vickers medium Tank!
Off to work now but I will order one when I get back.

This example is from the Australian armour museum.  Note the bright red paint - no doubt an example of Australian camouflage!
