Maginot Posted July 14, 2021 Author Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Yes. My mind's eye sees a parked low loader with dismounted driver stood looking at the overturned tank scratching his head, some kids pointing and laughing nearby, a policewoman taking notes.

Located on the corner of Mandela Way and Page’s Walk, Bermondsey, south-east London, It has had enough paint schemes to fill a cabinet with scale reproductions. Taking on the modelling challenge sure would push the colour swatch to new limits. https://www.mylondon.news/news/south-london-news/soviet-tank-sat-bermondsey-back-16718999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
