Owen Quite right as I didn't see the 3in Howitzer at first glance -missed the riveted turret as well ! - still useless ! Got it right with the MK1V though except for the 6 pounder.... Cheers
Nice photos! Shame a lot are just painted in the same colour it some how detracts from the tanks, also is that a matilda in the line up
