Tank AA, 20 mm Quad, Skink

[Gunner]

Hi Guys:

The reality of taking the unmachined turret, repairing all the range damage, finding and preparing a spare Grizzley chassis (anyone got one?), mating the two and fitting out the turret correctly is a wonderful pipe dream but wholly impractical unless you have bottomless pockets. I know that the RCA Museum's pockets have a distinct bottom and it ain't that deep.

A more realistic approach might be to tidy up the turret and display it with images and miniature models that help tell the story of Canada's only home grown self propelled armoured anti-aircraft gun (the ADATs doesn't count as it is a missile launcher and was designed in Switzerland).

On a light-hearted note; Clive, wouldn't the initial proposal be considered intention to creat a replica prohibited device?

What would our firearms big brothers think of that?
