    You need a decent size barrel to wedge bangers down come November.

    What the good Brigadier was referring to is the fact that the front decks of the toy are only held on by roughly 50% of the fastenings, and the heads of those bolts that are used are of different sizes.
    Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

    Why it wearing old style yank BDU camouflage
    All they need now is to put 2 ton of kit on it now and it will become realistic "formerly known as fast pursuit tank"
    Does it come with a rake of spares and a spare tank to tow it home? :D
    We should remember the tremendous contribution of the Queen Mother to the war effort:
    As the BBC pointed out, she 'bravely remained in London beside her husband' during the war.
    This contrasts sharply with the actions of my grandfather who, on the declaration of war immediately left his wife and children and pissed off, first to France, then North Africa, Italy, France (again) and finally Germany.
    The shame will always be with us.
