Amazing what you can do nowadays , seems some heavy print lines on a couple of those pieces though

+1That birch gun looks very good.
Some interesting stuff Dave.The Deacon is a real oddity but find it interesting.Great stuff.Finally managed to repair the SunLU - the thermistor is a very delicate pair of wires, not really the best, when you have fat fingers!, but after a lot of false starts it's fitted & the machine is working.
In my searches for models of the more obscure tanks I've been looking at the early Italian tanks, I've found a few..............

Fiat 3000 - only 2 made, but they did exist & were used operationally ( against N. African Tribesmen! ). Tere are some resin models available, but all are scarce & costly ( it's a biggie! )

Fiat 3000 - Italian version of the Renault FT-17. Tauro made a 1/35 model of this - one of the really dreadful products of the last century!

M11/39 - again a few models, more collectors items!
I've looked at the .stl files, and all appear to be doable. As usual, I'll blow them up to 1/35.
All the above were freebies!
I've actually lashed out $9 and bought files for this-

Included is the armoured ammo carrier version as well. I'd looked at the Accurate Armour version of this, but at £130+, I'd shied away!
This is in 1/56, but there aren't any red flags for printing it in 1/35
Just as well I'd got a spare PLA filament spool!

Yep - I was looking at Marmon Harrington srmoured cars & it came up - 200 were ordered for the Dutch Army in 1940, but after 125 were made war intervened. The US Army tested one & found it to be useless for any service purpose. The tanks were shipped to Surinam ( Dutch Colony ), but fell into disrepair due to no manpower - they were nominally in service until 1954, when Suriname became independent - I suppose they were scrapped after that.............Marmon Herrington MTLS-1G14 ????
