This will be a challenge for the vintage elves! Low slung body like a lungfish 100 feet long (8.33" at 1/144 scale), tricycle wheels 2 in front at 40 foot diameter (3.3")with thick ridged Caterpillar tracks? Hmmm. . . Command tower from the center of the body twin turrets with twin 7in guns in the front, single twin 7in in rear. Additional weapons - Maxim guns in heavily armored sponsons, thin slit windows and periscopes at several positions. Colors, white, black, light green, dark green camo splashes. Built and driven by Stern & Hetherington of England. So there we go . . .

David, I think the Elves will need a long vacation after this one. Please pass on my good wishes and admiration to such a hard working band!

I await the outcome with anticipation tinged with a little apprehension Dave.
What will the Martians make of that? Answers on a P Card to MoD Porton Down.
