@kevin , is it just a T-34 85 ?
with the second wheel to the rear for reasons?
the elevation of the drive axle looks the same .

 

[kevin]

Sure looks like it could be. I think I read somewhere that the Kelly Heroes tanks were built of a T-34 as well.
The tank in question sure looks alot better though. The upper hull and turret really look good.
Entertaining video to watch.

Entertaining

Yup!
I didn't know what to build next... the Scammell, of course!

 

[kevin]

That looks like it would be a very cool model to build.

First I've seen of the fireside chats: a bit of a sensationalist title, provides a high level overview and certainly a more modern interpretation of events than many of the books written within 20 years of the end of hostilities.

Nothing shocking though, if you have read more than Wikipedia summaries of the different campaigns... I do like how they bring home the fact that it was more than a war gaming exercise on a sterile bit of desert: from the West coast to the Eastern horn, North Africa is incredibly diverse in population, climate, topology and economy, all suffering.

They could have reminded us that in essence, it was a European war being executed in European colonies on the African continent. Then Africa was left with the mess.

The video titles on YT can get annoying .
Everything is a bombshell .
Everyone is destroyed .
the Entirety is shocking !

 

[BarleyBop]

annoying

That's why we appreciate your sifting through the chaff!
I'll be looking for their other vids, as its good to hear contemporaries with a lot more knowledge and get a read on their take on a subject I've only explored on my own!
So, thanks!

I haven't seen that series prior either .
That is part 2 on that topic ,,, probably more sensible to start with part 1 , lulz .
