Er.... :-\

If they've got them in Cardigan.

I think I'll buy one of the IS-2s and one of the SU 122s.




Is this an IS -2 ? (Probably the only one I'll have trouble identifying.....The Matilda and Lee Grant look fairly distinctive, as does the SU 122.)

My second post on the linked page below shows the SU 122 model. If you click on the photo it will enlarge so that you can see the kind of detail you will be getting.

Well........
'Bless' my socks !
I knew I bought a tiny little book about tanks, decades ago...But hadn't got a clue where it had been 'hidden'....So I hadn't bothered to look for it.
Ferreting around for something completely different yesterday afternoon.....I found it !

Collins/Jane's "Tanks of World War II".

I shall take it into 'The Works' this morning.....and I won't even have to remember what these tanks Mark wants, look like.....I'll be able to look at the little pictures in the book.
HUZZAH ! :-bd

Partial success, Mark !

I've got you two of the armoured cars.
One IS-2.....
And one Matilda.

They definitely didn't have the Lee/Grant or the SU 122.

I'll see if I can bully one of the others into getting them for you.  ;)...and I'll reimburse them...postage, as well.
(They did have one 'boaty thing'.......Sorry if I'm being too technical here....I know not everyone on the forum is 'au fait' with vehicles from WWII as I am !  =O =O =O =O)

Is that the flatbottomed boaty thing or the roundbottomed boaty thing? Inquiring minds want to know.

Or is this line of questioning best reserved for the totty thread?

Well...It's a  flatbottomed boaty thing as far as I can tell.
Mind you....That may just be down to getting the model to fit in the packaging.....Which is flat !  ;)

If that's the 4wd thing it's 1990's, and tip to all - READ the front of the box. It actually tells you what it be.

It does !.....Though some of the letters are in Cyrillic  script.
I'm rather hoping Mark doesn't actually want the IS-2.....I rather like that as a 'nice model to have'....and then hide it away somewhere. ;)

£2 for that......BARGAIN !!

There always seem to be IS-II left over, apart from the branch at Cheshire Oaks. The best looking model is the T-35.
