As far as I'm concerned all this stuff is very welcome, especially the canvas-covered machine guns. I love Vietnam war subjects and I've seen illustrations of vehicles from that conflict with covers over their machine guns. So this stuff isn't just for the WW2 guys.

Very nice stuff, I really like that canvas covering effect.

While he was doing the 6pdr, it's a pitty he didn't redo the wheels. They still have the raised cleats and recesses reversed.

Hi Guys,
Looks like some really useful stuff there. The T16 is one that has been missing from the range, kit looks great. The carrier crew are most welcome, replacements for the Tamiya set being long over due.
I noticed in the 'Hot Stuff' tab on their site Graham has also got some of the early carriers, in the form of the Scour Carrier and early Bren Carrier planned for next year.
He seems to be ahead of the game with the engine for the Mk III Churchill and the Ark conversion kit too and there is a fabulous looking Rolls Royce Ac due any time now.
Geoff, have you got a pic of the 6pdr wheels?
Lots of fun ahead.

Easy way to skip model detailing :-D
just take piece of resin, add wheels/guns/other stick parts and model is done :-))

Sorry, I've only just seen your question. Compare the kit wheels with this photo to see what I'm on about, http://www.toadmanstankpictures.com/6pounder_12.jpg . The raised portions of the tread look far to narrow when compared to other British cross country treads.

Hi Geoff,
Thanks, I see what you mean. I bought the kit and will see how the wheels look when I run a board over them a few times.
Derek built the full gun and I don't remember there being any issues with the wheels. I assume (lol, lol) they are the same.
I'll post a pic tomorrow when I get some good light
Thanks for the pic.

Hi Geoff,
These are the 2 wheels from the kit. On the LHS is one untouched as it came from the box, on the RHS is one that I've run an emery board over:
