Default First test drive "cross country" a success.

Well after a few issues with just about everything, I have my "Vickers tank" T16 hull up and running. It was a successful first off road test, running for about an hour over varied terrain. It went over hills and dirt piles as well as one small but very deserving tree. Now on to the armour and finishing work this winter so that she will be ready to do some real driving next year.

Nice job, Clark.

Lynn: I think you'll find the second vehicle in the two images you posted is an Italian CV33. There is an example in the CWM. One captured example went to Australia, but alas, long gone like most of the WW2 captured vehicles that ended up in Oz.

The other, as already stated, is the little UE carrier.

Mike

hi fella's
I went to look for the abandoned turret in the forest last month but found nothing, It may have been recovered already, who knows but it was worth a look anyway.

all the best
