Hello John. if I could help you I would mate as we would love that little beauty, a bit to far away in the land of Oz and not enough $.

Best of health and best wishes.

John, it really looks the part! This could be a great entry into the "world of tanks" for a collector. Use it and meanwhile rebuild the original engines.

Thanks Hanno

When put I the tank together I had no plans to sell it, I have been working on a couple of Sherman projects and I wanted something I could use and have some fun with in the meantime, I built it with ease of use and maintenance in mind, something that would always be parade and event ready and easy enough to drive and maintain that anyone could do it. With that in mind I had always thought that one day once I had the Shermans complete, I would in fact restore it to original. So I was careful not to make any permanent modifications to the hull or turret that would make future restoration more difficult. But life being what it is it looks like it will be going to a new home

Someone should be well pleased to be the next owner!
Good job John.

Yes a beautiful piece, but unfortunately in a much higher price league than I can play with.

John, I gotta tell you it hurts watching this happen. You take care.
