We do indeed! Didn’t it also come with something like a Sheridan turret? Perhaps I saw it in an ancient Armour Profile Publication - I can’t remember.

What I do remember is a very talented modeller scratching one of these in something like 1:25 scale a few years back; I recall seeing it at Poole (small coastal town in southern England) Vikings Scale Model Club - and very impressive it was too!

Interesting, Thanks for sharing

Heres a 1/72 kit of it.

I guess it should be this one…

It would never work. The crews would have so much fun driving the damn thing they would all be broken. It looks like a maintenance nightmare even if it wasn’t broken.

I think it was - hugely impressive.

That is one absolutely beautiful model.

I know for certain that I would have had fun :innocent: :grin:
