    Doesn't have the price and i couldn't find it on his website so i'm guessing it's gone now.
    Must have gone for quite alot because they're very rare now.

    Nice link, thanks. Some great bikes there.

    I don't think I have ever seen as much awesome as the British tree. But their thesis on British tank design is incorrect.

    Crusader should be T4 though IMO, (Covenator T3 with the other cruiser), otherwise a T5 tank, will be armed initially with a 2pdr... The Centaur should be T5, and then the Cromwell at T6. I hope they include the FV300 prototypes, including SPGs and the FV301 light tank at T6/7. And I hope they include a 5.5inch SPG as well as 25pdr.

    And the majority of British tanks should mount the 3inch CS gun, even the Tetrarch.

    The British strong points will be mediums and TD's I feel.

    I dunno, the Conqueror was a beast.
    As will the FV215. I don't know how accurate it's going to be, since they're giving it the wrong gun but historically, there was a variant with a 183mm autoloading gun (i think).

    It's a sign of the times that googling "fv215 183mm" throws up loads of WoT forum hits

    .. is correct. This pic is HMS Tiger C20. The most obvious feature is the aft aircraft hanger which is for four Seaking or Wessex helicopters.

    Her keel was laid in 1941, she was launched in late 1945 but work was then suspended until the next decade. She was eventually commissioned in 1959 after a complete redesign.

    At the end of the 1960s she was converted to a Helicopter and Command Cruiser along with sister ship HMS Blake, but the expense of crewing and maintaining these ships meant that they were prime candidates for economic cutbacks. Tiger was placed on reserve in 1978 and eventually sold for scrap in 1986.

    Lesson over Your turn Red Knight.

    Bernardini X1A is correct.

    Development/Description In the early 1970s the Bernardini company of Sao Paulo rebuilt two M3A1 light tanks for the Brazilian Army. Technical control of the project was under the direction of the Brazilian Army Research and Development Centre. The modifications included replacing the armour above the tracks by new sloped armour provided by the Biselli company, replacement of the original American petrol engine by a six-cylinder Saab-Scania diesel developing 280 bhp, new volute suspension designed by the Novatracao company, new turret with a French DEFA D-921A 90 F1 90 mm gun as fitted to the Panhard AML (4 × 4) and other light AFVs, and a fire-control system designed by the D F Vasconcelos Company. Following trials with the two prototypes the Brazilian Army placed an order for 100 M3A1 Stuart light tanks to be rebuilt to the new standard, which were subsequently delivered to the Cavalry Regiments under the designation X1; final deliveries were made in 1978. The vehicle weighs 15000 kg, has a road range of 450 km and can ford to a depth of 1 m without preparation. The X1 was followed by the Carcara, or X1A1. This is essentially a stretched X1 with an additional volute spring suspension group, additional return wheel and a new tension wheel each side. Engine and turret are the same as fitted to the earlier X1 tank. Trials with the X1A1 were completed in 1977-78 but the Brazilian Army did not place an order for the vehicle, further development resulted in the X1A2 which is based on a new chassis rather than a rebuild of an M3A1 chassis. The X1A1 is being offered for export.

    Interesting link thanks. The bogies did confuse me for a bit.

    FV101 Scorpion is correct. A versatile light tank with many variants, can also be amphibious when fitted with a flotation kit.

    Here's the vid I pinched the pic from..
