Scammel tank transporter with Cromwell tank

Derek HuggettA touch of 'old meets new' Airfix style! Good to see the Cromwell is secured to the transporter too. Works for me - very nice combo! 👍

JeroenThanks everyone, your comments are much appreciated (and now I know what antediluvian means, you learn something new every day 😉)
