Cheers for all the feedback on yesterdays post, and I was quite impressed with some of answers provided. The AFV is question is a hybrid of Roco 1/87th scale Marder hull with a 1/76 Airfix Scorpion/Scimitar turret.A few years ago my mate Dave threw some Marders my way which were surplus to his requirements. They did not have any turrets but I decided that I could do something with them at some stage.
Cleaning out the man cave the other day I stumbled across them and had a play with various turrets looking for something and found that the Airfix turret looked the best and also had that 1970's or 80's feel about it.
Going though the answers I could see that some of you have a terrific knowledge of vehicle recognition, while some of you aren't treadheads at all, who cares it's about getting knife on plastic, glue on plastic, then paint on plastic and finally plastic on table. Kudos's to you all.
I´m happy that I got at bit of it right...the sorpian/scimitar bit was easy..I remeber these from my days "in" but the maufacturer was a guess, the plastic of the turret looked very "airfix" like.
ReplyDeleteA fun idea...are you going to do another?

I thought that is what it was but I thought I'd give the others a chance cos I'm not really in to tanks.
