A good reason to take woodshop
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.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Romans a few years ago and got a good look at "Lulubelle." Photos cannot convey the level of authenticity of this 1:1 scale, wooden replica. When I saw "Lulubelle" her interior was unfinished, and Mr. Romans was uncertain whether he was going to try to tackle that job!

It was several years ago that George's 'AFV News' journal had an article on Mr. Roman's Lulubelle! It was an interesting read. Funny how when you build something 1:1 scale using original blueprints the thing tends to look authentic

Yup, Mike: I penned the "AFV News" article on Lulubelle.
