Default Project vehicle ? Preferably tracked

Folks, a pal of mine had a good idea about perhaps creating a small syndicate to get me back on the ladder ? The vehicle would be kept away from home, and thus safer ! And between us we could manage costs to restore and run, more easily.

I know syndicates do have a draw back, but at the minute it's probably my best option.

If anyone has anything for sale please email me with details etc

In a perfect world it would be a carrier, but I / we are open minded.

Would like to stick with ww2 era kit though.

Funds ready and waiting.


Thanks again

Richie

Richard, I think the "official" wartime tracks have some deep track grousers on them. I followed a weasel in my bren carrier at one of the winter battle of the Bulge reenactments here in Pennsylvania, and I was watching him chew up the ice. The same ice that my tracks were spinning on.

They may well be some post war rubber ones that don't use the grousers, but just be aware that the cleated ones are on a lot of them.

Yes, they have rubber pads on their tracks. Tracks are their weakest link though, but newly-made ones are available as well as refurbishment technologies.

Thanks Hanno.

Will have a look see. I really really really miss my carrier. It's new owner has had it to numerous shows since buying it....keeps sending me pics of it which is great but stings at the same time.

I am happy that it went to a good home though.
