Looking For Plans

Modeling Subjects Armor
1

TB379 again,

I’m looking for three-view plans and photos of a couple of rarer subjects with an eye to scratchbuilding them, and I’ve struck out so far despite getting close on the web (military sources, heavy on text, light on images) from time to time. I’m looking for:

The GRIZZLY – the mighty engineers’ vehicle based on the Abrams;

the COMMANDO STINGRAY LIGHT TANK by the Cadillac-Gage company; and

the GIAT-GCT 155mm SPG TURRET as used on the AMX-30, Leopard 1 and other chassis.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! I’ve discovered a tase for rare armor, and really enjoy major conversions and scratchbuilding.

Best wishes,

TB379

Hi guys,

Thanks for the links – there’s some great stuff there! It was a profitable visit, and I think I’m onto at least some of the data I needed. George Bradford’s plan drawings are an absolute work of digital art, and I’ll be placing an order with him shortly.

Cheers,
