Very nice review. It looks a good model. I made my first Rubicon model yesterday, PzIV D and it is excellent. PzIII should arrive next week. The shop that I order from also has the T26, so will probably buy that at the same time. Hope that you are keeping well.
The versions sent to Spain all had the same 45mm turret, they were a mix of the standard turret, and the command version with the big radio aerial, you do see a lot of images where they have removed the aerial, but the mounts are still there....tank command structure was very basic, TBH they did not have a clue how best to use them.
Ps. Reading an old miniature war Games mag in which an article about the exploits of the CTV stated they had ATRs, not sure on this. If correct did any other forces have this weapon?
@@vonketteringham Thats a new one on me, I'm pretty certain that no one else had them. There were a lot of AT gun variants around, along with some 20mm stuff like Oerlikons, and the Breda they stuck on the Pz1...I expect they are talking about the Solothurn ATR, but I certainly can't recall seeing it listed anywhere...will have a look in my big CTV book i have, see if that mentions it.
Great to get another video out from you. I'm just now getting round to ordering some Germans from the Empress range you reviewed :) Would it be possible to see a show-case of your Spanish Civil War if you have time for the vid sometime?

Nigel, glad to have you back and on the mend.
Glad to see you are doing well. Very interesting vid, looking forward to seeing your progress. Was the 45mm turret the only varient in the SCW?
