    The US Army had them as well, The M2A2 & A3 Light Tanks, they originally had the Vickers suspension until it proved unsatisfactory...

    They were known as the Mae West Tank.... (For obvious reasons) {chuckle}

    Indeed.

    The Vickers idea can be considered a distant ancestor of the M2, M3 and later M5 family

    There seems to be an alternate turret base plate, an extra part for the second turret (only one turret has the part - unsure what it is) and a souple of idler wheels that don't seem to fit anywhere.

    These Vickers (and derivative) models were in service in many different countries with many variations and modifications.

     

  3. Tie the sails to the yards, attempt 3..
    I didn't like attempt 2. So did everything again for the 3rd and "last" time.
    Different rope and fewer attachments to the yard. Main and fore sail 2 times round yard as the rest 1 time.

     

    The result is a simplified version of the example in the Mary Rose book.

     

    working method :

    Knot on the sail20211108_164434.thumb.jpg.3bee3605eb38867d2141a74ab24b7f42.jpg20211108_164517.thumb.jpg.ed5c527bcd48cb09e39dee6b6c4f11bc.jpg

    Rope around the yard

    Knot on the yard (I worked with a series of 5)

    CA gel ont the (yard) knot. And the rope ends are held down

    cut off

    Result, By pushing the rope ends down until the CA gel has cured, hang these neatly towards the deck

    Dry test fit on the orignal resin model20211104_191601.thumb.jpg.2b0b2e43cf6842ff814dc71003421562.jpg

    The 4 weasels with the extra float tanks will have side skirts. The running gear will therefore be little visible later on.
    So I do these 4 first to practice.

    1 side done (will probably need some extra details)
