Hi Des,

Thanks for putting this up. :) I used to visit the Tank Museum quite a lot - my uncle was R.E.M.E. and based at Bovington for many years doing tank repairs and maintenance of the mobile targets on the Lulworth firing range. I also lived for about four years in the area (Wool-Lulworth-Wareham) when doing my PhD work about 5 miles from the place. Many a Tamiya tank kit was bought then too.

Cheers
GrahamB

btw, the A7V is a replica or it is the real thing?
I am asking because in the third picture, you see the interior which is clearly without floor!
i am wondering if it is a normal feature of the tank or a shortcut when the replica was made...
ciao
