This one has just landed at Pendraken HQ!  There might have only been 3 built, but I'm sure that won't stop any of the VBCW fans!   :D  This really is an excellent model, the detail on it is fantastic.

The Mk II should be making an appearance any day now as well.

Oh that is so nice! Compliments to the sculptor. If the MKII is as good, then I'm in trouble ;).

Hell :o That's seriously impressive sculpt and will definitely be on my VBCW list!

Stunning! Historical reality? Take yourself a seat in the back while I get some of these, paint 'em up, and change the course of history  ;) ;D

Hi All

Really great work on the masters. Maybe this forum is a bad idea, as soon as I decide what I'll order along comes something else  :D. Definitely be buying some of these, now all you need to do are an NBFZ, Vickers Independent, Char FCM2c and an affordable T35 and then you can put your feet up  ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Seriously really looking forward to their release, along with the Vickers MkII.

Cheers

NBFZ

Not sure on that one.  Limited number made, did see action, would it also fit into the VBCW?

Char FCM2c

This beastie could actually become a reality, it's been mentioned to a designer.

T35

No idea on this, doubt it unless a load of interest appears.

Well this one wasn't far behind the Mk III, and it's another exceptional model!  Produced in much greater numbers than the III, this was phased out in 1939 as it was replaced by the A9, although one was used as a pillbox during the Italian invasion of Egypt in 1940!




And a comparison of the two together (helpfully with the III on the left, II on the right...!):

Very cool. Was the Mk II used in the SCW by chance?   8)

Sweet!  :-bd

Definitely looking forward to getting some of these!!

Due to the small number produced and sheer size of the NBFZ and T35 I doubt they'd really fit in with VBCW ...... not that it would stop me :d

Not models I'd get more than 1 or 2 of though, so if others felt the same way, probably not a viable prospect sadly :'(

Again, sooooooooooo very nice 8). Definately want these, now!!!

Hi All

Again a very nice job by the sculptor (or are these 3d printed?). Will definitely have some MkII's running around. The sad thing is that now I'm planning what I have to do to the MkII to make it into a Birch Gun  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D.

Damn it...AVBCW in 10mm is getting harder to resist...

Another beautiful sculpt - there's just something about the crispness of the lines on these tanks  =D>

Have to agree, looked at in a economic sense, the NBFZ, Independent and T35 wouldn't be great sellers, more of a Pulp or VBCW propaganda piece rather than actual kit  :(. Still by the apparent quality of the new masters maybe you can aim at collectors as well.  The T35 is available from diecast people and maybe the NBFZ and Independent can be set up as 3d printings for short runs, I keep on prodding the 3d printing process and it seems to be improving all the time. Still I can dream can't I !!!!!!!!!!!!

Good news that the Char FCM 2c still has a pulse, My French Interventionists need some propaganda  ;D ;D
