Thread: Research help needed

  1. #1

    Default Research help needed

    Can anyone steer me toward drawings or photos of the TOG-1 super-heavy tank developed for the Royal Army in the 1930's? The TOG-2 was developed from the TOG-1 design, but the TOG-1 looks quite different in the 1-2 photos that turn up on image searches. The best source for info seems to be the Osprey volume on super-heavy tanks of WWII.

    Also looking for a Korean made kit of a roughly 1/200 U-Boat combining features of the Type I, Type VII, and Type IX. It is easily recognizable. Imagine a Type VIIC with the saddle tanks removed. The aft end is fitted with a grotesque rubber band powered paddle wheel to propel if in the bath tub. However, the engraved deck is almost perfectly adaptable for our forthcoming U-Boats. Otherwise we will raid the textured styrene tiles made for model RR scratch builders.

    Whilst in supplicating mode, can anyone help me find a copy of Autocar Collection, Jaguars since 1996. The book was put out by Haynes in the UK and consists of a compendium of Autocar articles. It must have been printed on Unobtainium, as I have been unable to find a new or used copy.

    Back to the workbench.

    Ron, the Tank Museum has a document and archive library, so it might be worth sending them an email: library@tankmuseum.org.

    It's actually a TOG 2 they have at Bovvie Mark, which is a quite different beast.

    TOG 2:
