Bovington
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.

That would surprise me... Unless there is some documentation about the original colors.

The tracks were black already, and the left side of the running gear is the side who was on loan to a collector that wants to rebuild one (or two?) tanks that were missing the running gear.
The hope is that part of this work would cascade again on Bovington's tank, hopefully making it a runner.

Here is a picture with the left side missing:

It's British, I don't remember the name, or maybe I never heard it... Sorry.
I remember P-O speculated a bit on the news, since there aren't that many FT hulls around. I am pretty sure more info is available on early pages of this thread.

The guy who borrowed the FT parts is a well knows British collector that owns a running Jagdpanther, but I'm not allowed to give any name.

Ooo, so many to chose from!
I'm speculating that it's going to be black, as they've painted the hull behind the tracks that colour.
I can't see the point of painting over the primer, assembling the running gear, then having to disassemble the running gear to paint behind it.

Your observations makes sense, but I just can't believe it would be black. If it will, I bet the Museum will explain and document the choice.

Are we really sure the black isn't just another primer?

One who seeks to "gather no moss"?

Please, please tell me that's anti-rust primer coat on there. I saw a couple of similarly painted vehicles at the museum in Bucharest. It looks just as hideous outdoors.

Good news about the new building. Looks like soon people visiting the Museum should start carrying a tele-photo lens Smile

I wish they have a similar building at Saumur, to house the rare tanks that are not stored inside.. like their Sherman DD for example.

Bovington is going to be, once again, ahead of the rest with such a building. But don't forget they can do that because they have the budget.
