Having now been in tracked armour as an enthusiast for roughly
14 years, I always give the same advice to anyone who is thinking
of getting a tank. "If the vehicle isn't complete: don't by a Hull
until the Turret you need is sitting in your yard. You will
always be able to sell the Turret, but just how many people want
a Tank without a Turret" - very very few! You may have noticed
that one of the list members is looking for a M26 Pershing Turret,
I wish him lots of luck, because his chances are slim. I wonder
if there are any wrecks still lurking around in Korea?

Rick, you have me intrigued. What do you know that I don't?
The biggest bug bear of any tracked vehicle collector
is track and where the next set is coming from. Ask
any Weasel owner.
