The_Lancaster Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Finally.... Lookie here, a fully injection moulded, full interior FV432 Mk.2/1 from our friends at Takom. Sourced from the Tamiya Model Magazine Facebook Group Sam But wait! There's more! Right, where's the British equipment set and figures with compulsory chipped enamel mug?

Julien Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 New Cheiftains, new King Tigers, A V-2 and transporter/launcher, new South African Rhino. Someone at Takom seems to be doing things right. If that person is reading this thread then the rest of the FV43.. series needs doing, along with the FV600 series.

All members of 206 Sig Sqn , 6th Armd Bde I'm afraid Riggers, we did have an Arty Ops wagon that came out with us a lot but I think it was from one of the Dortmund Arty units, can't remember which unit now to be fair, it's getting on a bit now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget brewing tea from the BVs. If a fly landed in your tea it became soup. Ah, the days of Biscuits AB and Cheese Possessed... And the delicious Orange / Lemon water additive we scoured the bottom of our mess tins with. Wolfgang and his blue bratty wagon from Soltau is a must. He could find any "Tactical Hide" anywhere, then parked right there and sounded his horn for business. In two different hides the RSM sent me to tell him to ... umm... Kindly go away. Remarkably he suddenly couldn't speak English or German. According to the (very loud and furious) Tara, his continued presence was all my fault. I couldn't shoot Wolfgang though as half the British Army would be after my blood (okay, and possibly the German authorities too) and anyway his bright blue van would be hard to camouflage. It did cross my mind though as I looked back at His Majesty, the RSM glaring murderously at me from the hide. Anyway, back to the subject, there are so many variations (and uses) of this vehicle that there was usually one, or many, lurking just about everywhere the British Army served. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
