Hi Kevin,

Well it was more a nitpick than an actual correction

Quote:
We have tried to avoid using museum examples for names and numbers as they are not always what they propose to be. Museum examples are only used if there is confirming official paperwork/ photos.
I couldn't agree more. Far to often museum or monument vehicles have lost their true identity and details along the way, only to have them replaced by a made-up identity and markings.

But, that does make me very curious about Avalon. I am currently building a scale model of it, including the 20-ish Panzerfaust (?) penetrations on the right hand side...but there is some confusion about the true unit identity of the tank and how and where it was put out of action. Do you have any documentation that can shed some light on this?

Alex
