Thanks for posting this Dave , Wow , a Marder !

I do wonder why people bother though , the rules about deacts and guns in general are b***** ridiculous..

i do agree mate, however since jon is having to butcher his vehicles does it mean all the tanks in civi hands (MVT etc) will have to be done the same. Whatever happens it would appear that there should be no more blank firing armoured vehicles at shows now. or am i dreaming

The reason that Phillips is having to chop the Stug is because its going to Militracks at Overloon and whilst the Dutch don't give a monkeys about that sort of thing he would have problems getting it back into England. The proof house chaps saw the Marder and insisted that he did that as well. He has no intention of keeping the vehicles in Normandy as he still has a home in in Medway.
