Is this a Covenanter tank?
The AFV ASSOCIATION was formed in 1964 to support the thoughts and research of all those interested in Armored Fighting Vehicles and related topics, such as AFV drawings. The emphasis has always been on sharing information and communicating with other members of similar interests; e.g. German armor, Japanese AFVs, or whatever.

Quite possibly, but we'd need to see how many roadwheel stations each hulk has to be sure neither is a Crusader. Covenator had four, Crusader five. Cheers John _________________ Cheers John

On a fire range in UK :

Definately a Covenantor

please also identify this one :

I didn't arrive at a satisfactory conclusion as to what this one actually was though I did forward the notion that it was a heavily modified crusader.

But note the towing eyes on the front are part of the hull sides, those angled metal plates at the top are as built and haven't been exploded upwards and that strange bracket on the vertical plate once appeared to hold a metal tube gun crutch.

Could be. I think I can see the mountings for the Slow Motion bogies on the side. _________________ 1/72 and 1/76 scale fanatic.
