Default Vickers MkVI

Cliff, email me at
george.dfs1(at)virginmedia.com

I have a mass of info, and some great ex factory drawings.

Also look at my website

www.mooresmilitarymodels.co.uk

Check out my work in progress.

I am after engine / gearbox details myself. I need "out of vehicle" shots of the engine block and drive.

George.

Hi George. The work shown on your website of the Vickers in progress is awesome. I cannot help with the photos you need unfortunately but I need to tidy up and detail the drivers compartment as some of this is seen in the finished model. I have found the thing that lets this kit down in my eyes is the complicated suspension setup and tracks. Thanks for the help.

Cliff, Not sure if I got you right,
I can help with interior photos, I have masses, plus the works drawings that show the panels.
Email me and I can get back to you.

Agree about the suspension, there is a company over here, "Sovereign2000" that makes a replacement set, alternatively, anneal those springs to take out the stiffness.
They are a bit of a b~~~er though I agree.

Email me and I can send the stuff you need.

As for the engine, a general enquiry only, I am waiting for a book on early Vickers tank, which I hope will have the answers !!!!!

George.
