Fire drill... [a sortof off-topic]
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.

Okay guys (for the benefit of those not watching live on my webcam this afternoon) there is one thing you should never do when someone sends you the kits to turn a Sherman into a poa-cws-h5 and that is never look at it and wonder if you could actually make it squirt flame..

You end up with a scorched desk. heat-crazed stereo, two toasted copies of Hunnicut, a smouldering copy of Janes, a hell of a stink of burning plastic, a 1/16th scale lump of melted plastic with various metal bits protruding out of it and a partner convinced that you were in desperate need of a brain transplant....

oh yeah and always always install a safety cover over the firing switch.....
