 Subject:  Ram OP lower hullsList thread.  
  
 Date:  Apr 24, 2008
 From:  Alex Borsboom 
Hi Guys,

Does anybody know if the Ram OP has a welded or rivetted lower hull?

Perhaps someone has noticed this feature on the restored Ram OP in the Netherlands?

Thinking on backdating the Formations Ram OP conversion to a late production gun tank as used in training units, and I am wondering if the Tasca kit is in that respect a better donor kit then the Tamiya kit is?

I also found some pics of the Ram gun tank in postwar Dutch service with what seems to be a British 75mm gun fitted (Cromwell / Churchill style). Is this a correct observation, or has the 6 pounder just been fitted with the muzzle brake from the 75mm? (It would imply a reworked ammo storage too, something I think unlikely for a vehicle just used for training purposes with the cash starved post war Dutch army.)

Hope someone have the answers, thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Alex
