Was it the Weald Foundation that borrowed the left side?

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.

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:

Looks like it's going to be painted all black.

The FT-17 got the half running gear back, plus what looks like a coat of primer:

well, it an opinion but I don't find this camo to be very "sexy".

I like the "Making tanks" idea a lot!

Hi, Adamicz - I'm sorry I hadn't realised you were on this forum. I recognise your name, though - I'm already using one of your Chieftain pictures from Wikipedia:

I'll add that new M47 picture, and add you as a separate contributor - thanks.

There are photos of the Hetzer that went that way.

It's a G-13 delivered by the Swiss Army. P-O has a picture on the PDF

I have read of it somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where.
