Re: interesting tank? [TANKS [TANKS]

My tank book lists this thing (with the Schofield) under "Throwbacks and Freaks". Apparently it was made in 1931 and weighed 11.5 tons, pulled 200HP and was armed with 2 MGs. Its crew of 3 nestled behind 14mm max of armour, and could zip along at 20mph on tracks and 45mph on wheels, which must have been exciting on 1930s roads.

So, you're going to build one Chris? I'm looking forward to seeing your automatic wheel/track changeover mechanism :-}

I just saw a picture of this (while doing a search on google - for something else of course) and just felt i had to post it as it's something i've never seen before.
