No, unfortunately (prior commitment, plus many brownie points traded in for a Partizan trip the following weekend), which is a shame as I would love the chance to play with all those lovely Spensah-Smiffs!

Best of luck for the day and lots of piccies please!

Cheers brendan,
I can't do Partizan for much the same reason.
I will be taking loads of photos.

Sorry, Willz, just a bit far up the track for me.

I can't make it, Willz, wish I could. It'll be brilliant of course.

:o Have you been in the main terminal at Changi? There's thousands of 'em! And nothing can help you if you get between them and a newly opening duty free shop.....

I was running a stall at Bovington wargame show several years ago in 2015 / 16 and had about 20 American shermans and a similar number of Tigers for sale. My stand was just up from the museum's fury tank display. About midday dozens of Japanese tourists swapped the fury display and then 10 minutes later swapped my stall asking if the shermans were the same as the fury tank. Needless to say I sold all the Shermans and the Tigers, so I'll not have a bad word said about those Japanese swarms :). It worked for me several hundred pounds worked :lol:

You obviously survived, mate, and the herd buy reflex obviously worked for you. It always surprises me how such a polite people can suddenly go crazy when something hits their "Must Have It!" button.

On a more important note, have they reverted that Fury Sherman back it's real markings?

I don't know, sadly I have not been to the tank museum for several years.
