Bob Semple tank (15mm)
« on: May 28, 2016, 02:56:13 AM »


Behold, the mighty 15mm Bob Semple tank, in all its majestic glory!

The colour scheme is somewhat conjectural, as nobody seems to know for sure exactly what the colours were. The darker colour was definitely green, but the lighter tone might have been red-brown (as here), a lighter khaki-green, or possibly even a darkish yellow ochre. Other markings are completely absent in any of the photos I've seen — no serial numbers, no national or tactical markings. I imagine that if it had ever actually gone into action, it would have been supplied (very briefly) with those things.

Very nicely done.  As you say, it wouldn't have been long-lived had it actually got into action!

The Kiwi King Tiger! Very nicely done indeed. I've loved the Bob Semple tank ever since I read an article devoted to them in Military Modelling back in the early 1980s.
