Russian T27 tankettes and 8th Army Boys AT?

[GrumpyOldMan]

Hi

I'm looking for some Russian T27 tankettes, anybody got any suggestions? I thought of major surgery on existing stuff but that looks like too much effort  .

Also can anyone tell me if the 8th Army Boys AT has a pack?  I'm thinking of doing a conversion for VBCW and would prefer a packless type. Otherwise I'll have to use the Early War type.

Cheers, thanks for any info.

The 8th Army Boyes doesn't have a pack, though does look like he is wearing shorts.

Fred,

So for VBCW the one in shorts would be the " Boys scouts" AT? Or maybe Fascist Auxiliaries from Sir Roderick Spode's Blackshorts Movement?     

Happy New Year!

Have you been getting your puns from Christmas Crackers?

No, nothing as sophisticated as that!  Roderick Spode's Blackshorts are of course pure P J Wodehouse - one of the better jokes in the Jeeves books. So not even much originality really - sorry!

I so wish there was a T27 tankette, it is almost a carbon copy of the Carden-Lloyd carrier.

I think one garage kit makers in japan makes one (goes rummaging)

This chap, but seems not to be showing (maybe OOP)

Qouting Woodhouse is original enough.
