Tim Gow said...: Ah, the brave new world of the early 1970s... I always rather liked the 'A2 despite (or more likely because of) it's shortcomings. My 6mm US forces have always included some. What the hell colour was the tank in the film? It looked brown to me but that's possibly a layer of dust. I wish there was a 6mm MBT-70 available.....; January 16, 2013 at 4:32 AM

Tim Gow said...: Don, I'll dig out my 1/300 scale 'A2s for a photo call if you do the same with your Roco versions...; January 16, 2013 at 10:11 AM

Bill said...: Oh yeah, that whole gun-launcher idea back then was technology not ready for prime time! Did like the hatch idea though!; January 16, 2013 at 3:58 PM
