    always saddens me to hear of a tank gun being deactivated but then again having a class 5 firearms license AND somewhere secure enough to store the tank would be such a headache 😂

      There is no ammo for these so it doesn't matter if the gun gets cut.

      It’s probably easier to get your live tank gun authorised in the Uk than a standard FAC, getting the ammo on the ticket as well not so much

      ​@@MrHewes​I believe that phrase was uttered by General Anthony Clement McAuliffe of the 101st Airborne Division during the battle of the bulge when asked to surrender he sent back the reply "Nuts!"
      It confused the German command and the 101st continued to fight until relieved. True heroes.
      Different context but still the same sentiment.

    You guys really did a great job on this AVRE by giving a good coat of bronze green, a bit boring, but costumer wants it this way! Didn't realise how difficult to hand crank the tracks including a thud and loud scream. I presume that all MBT are difficult to crank up the tracks but he dared to nick the lid, should be severely punished by kissing 💋 the tank under strict supervision of Ted 😅😅😅
