J63 tank

Post by caliwag »

Has anyone any thoughts where I could obtain a drawing of a J63...not necessarily detailed to a modelling level. Thanks, Jim

The book "The Harmonious Blacksmith, Robinson" published by SLS contains a nice Charles Reddy drawing, side elevation only, in original GC condition.

If you did want a kit to build a model in 4mm scale then rumour suggests that a word with Bill Bedford or Mike Edge might be the way forward, so I presume those gentlemen have access to some good drawings.

Ay up!

Fleabay can be a happy hunting ground but beware - some mug paid £10 for a Tri-ang cement wagon that's worth about that in mint condition and boxed. This was neither.
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!
