Unfortunatley, I got the colours wrong and had to repaint to match the others

What rules, BKC?

Looks more like a 1-1 set, 3 tanks to a troop.

Nicely done. Those early war tanks had a charm about them.

Great stuff - always good to see lots of A series tanks - at least until they encounter the enemy, or break down, or fall to pieces...

Good patience on the pennants, they were well fiddly to add to my tanks.

I'd not spotted the 2pdr portees before - will have to remember to add some of those to my desert Brits.

1:1 maybe, but will act as a squadron for BKC too.
