I risk sounding like a rivet counter .Rather than being genuinely interested in your design process( Which you know me well enough to that I am genuinely interested)
In the broad sense its technically all the Independent. But I was just wondering if your intending on having the rear machine gun turrets as on the '26 or the versions on the'33 which were intended for an AA role. As you've used the '33 drive assembly so I was wondering if you were opting for a more of a hybrid nod at its continual evolution?(It had occurred to me it might just be in place for the 'photo' but asking seemed appropriate)

I count rivets... its ok we are all friends here ;D

From what I've seen the rear left turret was the AA turret so yes I'll be doing that.

Where are you getting the history of it from?  I've not seen that much detail.

 lol all over the place.
It's worth taking a sidestep and looking at Norman Bailey-Scott. Links the Independent to Russia and Lord Haw haw.
You've managed to hit on one of the most useful plot point/scenario building vehicles of the interwar period/vbcw.

Feels a bit like the A-Team.


If you can't find it, but it looks really cool,
If was barely used but hopefully fired in anger,
And if you can find him,
Maybe you can hire.. Rich H!

You see what happens when your supposed to be listening in a meeting.  lol   lol  lol
Definitely  a brain in neutral day . (Scott's the intern at the museum . So so sick of hearing 'Yes Scott.' He's like a Yorkie on speed.With the commonsense of a rock.)
I think I'm not look to smart this side of the screen either.
Everybody's sat at lunch being all intellectual its been a bit quite since I was asked what I was reading and working on at the moment.
Apparently 'I'm re reading Captain Starlight an the Eather Flyer .Because I quite fancy building a spaceship crewed by boy scouts .' Isn't what they're expecting to hear. ::)

Appart from my howler of mashing up of names. Its quite fascinating . People says its a vehicle thats important because of its influence on desgin of tanks of the period especially the Germans and the Russians.
What they neglect to mention is he sold the plans and tech reports to Both RussIa and Germany. So 90% of the issues and dead ends were bashed out before they started on their own versions .(its a lot easier when somes already a list of do's and don'ts.)

He sold the plans for about £40...  quite a bit of cash back then but not exactly worth years in prison!

OK it’s only a render I know but that is looking very good indeed. Hopefully you can be persuaded to do some more interwar beasties, preferably some little ones.

Some of the earlier Vickers Light tanks. MkII India Pattern would be a nice start. They actually saw service and a few people on here at least collect interwar armies for the NWF.

A Czech vz.33 would be my next nearest desire. I have an interwar Czech army and IIRC a few soldiered on with the Germans post 1939.
