Chris , :laugh: , I remember that one well , nothing like taking some smarmy all knowing armchair WWII historian down a notch , the equivalent of taking a dump in his hat and watching him wear it .
A modeler made a very well done scene of a PzII I believe towing an 88 in Africa ........... well Mr " I see all and know all " posted that according to German t.o.e. that would never happen , only authorized vehicles were allowed to tow this or that .
Well , I didn't like the guy to begin with so this provided an excellent opportunity for me to be the smart ass that I am .
I already had a ref pic of a PzII towing an 88 in my highly unorganized ref files , which I'm sure the modeler also used as his ref.
I save thousands and thousands of WWII ref pics , another hobby of mine .
I can't tell you what I had for dinner last night , but I know if I've seen and have a ref pic of some subject .
Welllll , after posting a plethera of Tigers towing Tigers , LKW's and PKW's being towed by this and that , I found a pic of a PKW officers car being towed out of a stream by an elephant . I saved that pic for last and wrote the " never say never " line when it comes to oddities in war .
Needless to say Mr smartass was a prominent member so I was deafiningly ignored from then on and high on his sh!t list , with constant veiled insults at every opportunity when I posted .
I stayed for a while longer then left , shame still have friends there and no it's not TNT .
Saul knows who this person is and has had similar problems from our early " forum modeling years " , good Lord that was a long time ago ..........

Hi all
The tarps were scratch which I think turned out not to bad , the straps were from my spares box that were photo etched ,Lille bit of a pain with my failing eyes
I might just tone down the weathering ,but having seen the effect sun sand and temperature has on vehicles being pushed very often beyond there limit , aim starting to feel it might fit the situation.
I made the the two locking devices for the sand channels,no doubt they something different ,but I feel that these units were masters of improvisation
I will have to do some work on the seams I left on the tyres ,which show up big time on pics . Did a bit of work on one of the crews not done his eyes ...have to be in the mood lol :facepalm
Cheers guys

Don't forget that in the desert, and without coloured google lenses, that the eyes would be mere slits against the hars sun and glare from the sand.

Just wondering, and after looking the thread through again, are any of those SAS crew figures from Master Box?
