That’s it all of you should start playing World of Tanks!!!

If one is to go about recreating a WWII era tank train then the ones in the photo look to be M2 Light tanks. Something that was never used in combat and only for training. Vehicles actually used in combat include:

M3 Lee
M4 Sherman and its many variants.
M3 Stewart Light tank
M26 Pershing though this was late in the war.
M18 Hellcat
M10 Wolverine
M36 Jackson
M24 Chaffee late in the war

M3 Half track

M7 Priest artillery

CCKW Transport
DUKW

And of course the Jeep

It’s being moved from Aberdeen Proving Ground ?

Nobody has ever heard of a tank other than the Tiger ?

They had some going cheep ?(not appropriate for a Tiger)

It fits nicely in the box?

It has probably the largest ever phallic symbol fitted to a tank ?

They are still apologising to the Germans for knocking the crap out of them in WW2 ?

I don’t wish to be picky , but the contemporary medium tank at the era you have chosen was the Lee or Grant .

Well… I got 2 1/35 M1 Abrams models to be put together. One I had ordered and the other one was shipped in error.
I got 2 1/32 M1s that are battery powered New Ray plastic, to see how they look. I figured I’d get a pair and save on shipping.
I also got 2 FOV tanks, 1 M1 and a Bradley. These win hands down. Much better detailing and built stronger. One of them is missing some parts and repaired a bit roughly. Still a good looking model. I will start looking for more and then have to make some flats to haul them. I’ll need to look into chains and hardware for tie downs.
