LAH,

As far as I am concerned, there is no such thing as "too much information" or "over the top" in a post like that. People are free to skip over parts that do not interest them. Please keep the information coming. That's what we are here for, to learn and to exchange information.

thanks guys much appreciated im only to happy to help out what i try to post is based on lots of reasearch and history plus for the modellers amongst us this info is gold when i first started modelling i used to build straight from the box and entered a couple of shows to be told by judges that the models were not correct even though built from the box so thats when the quest started for accuracy the more i learnt the more accurate the models became so im only to happy to pass on the info for every one

Like I said, we are thankful for it. We are really glad to have you here.

I'm no armor expert (I know how to run the forum software, that's my area of "expertise" here ), but I love reading about it and learning more.

Ditto to all Jim said. Personally, I find you back stories to individual tanks and crews fascinating.

Thanks for the info LAH - much appreciated. Especially good from a modelling point of view too.. some of us like to get it really right with our kits.
