I think your right rick it was really the barrel and recooperater I was after.

Ron, the vickers would be a great project. It has the engine, trans, radiator, linkage and another hull with lots of stuff in it. A very unique little tank. But I will have to try ang get a bit more track because some of it is dead.
Colin.

Default Track

Colin its a pity this did not happen a little while back that Marmon Herrington carrier conversion had British track on it but thats gone now, I will keep an eye out up here for you and see what turns up, maybe some one closer to home might have some they can spare after all its in a good course

Hi Lynn, I will check it in the daylight but the track that is there does look like the horns are closer and the lead plug area is different also. There is a t16 there as well. I think a busy beaver will be an understatement with this lot.
Colin.
