Ram Tank on display

[Alex van de Wetering]

Hi Guys,

About two weeks ago I visited a modeling meeting from our dutch military modeling club. The event was held in the Dutch Cavalry museum in Amersfoort. New to me was the Ram Tank they had on display. I knew they had the Ram, but when I visited the museum the last time, the Ram had disappeared. Now, its clear why.....it was recently restored externally!
I also bought a copied version of the "Parts list" for the Ram mk2.
So......I am gathering more and more info for a model of a Ram Kangaroo....

(p.s. Hanno, if you read this, someone is building a Ram OP in 1/35 on track-link.net. Take a look at "Modeller Build Logs".)

Also on display are: CMP C15TA Armored car, Universal carrier, Staghound etc. etc.

Here is it's sister vehicle, "GIJS", now painted up as CT-159602 at Bovington. It was originally destined for a Dutch museum, sent to be repainted at a REME workshop in Germany, and cunningly swapped for a Grizzly. Although I was sad to see it leave the country, at least Bovington is taking good care of it.

Both these Rams are fitted with the British 75-mm gun.

These are not Command/OP tanks.

With all apertures welded shut, it is believed these are small arms target training tanks.

Have a look at this Alex and see if it will help with plans to build a Ram Kangaroo. Derek.
