Default RE: 7th Panzer on the move !

Thanks for the comments...no, no help with handling the tanks...but then, those I want to handle personally. Believe it or not, I got them all in 4 plastic storage containers, with bars across the lower one to define a base for the upper one being stacked into it. Muuuucho bubble pack! A 1/6 scale Stuart rode in the front seat..in MY NEW TOYOTA SCIAN A. The controllers, mini cam monitor and tools/glue etc in a narrow box on the floor in back. My 1/9 scale M-1A1 Abrams had to wait for a second trip. The Stuart was popular as I have a minicam in the driver's perisciope mount and people got interested in watching the monitor...looks like you are in the driver's seat. Got everything back into the museum with only one breakage of one stowage bracket on my super pershing , but that's fixed. Got a new Pz III and another upgrade kit from MATO IN 6 DAYS!!!! USP the way to go. and another Century 21 Pz IV. I'll now install the short 75mm howitzer and smoke grenade launchers in the Pz III, add Schürtzen and have an ausf. M. Going to buy a small trailer from Lowes and build a cabinet in it to carry my Panzer regiment including the Stuart and Abrams. Back "in the old days", a MSG had a crew to help on the tank, but the new modern Army of quasi retirement works on a wantitdonedoityourself basis.
