Hi All,

I hope someone can help me. I have already for some time a 1:35 Antar Mk1 and 50 ton Dyson drawbar trailer in my stash. I was looking for a vehicle to use as a load. I want to have a tracked vehicle used by the British army in the 1950's, but not a heavy main battle tank. I was thinking of an A34 Comet, any other ideas?

cheers,

Matthijs

How about a Churchill Toad.
That would look great.
