Revell (Revell of Germany and Monogram)

[NARSES2]

Can someone check with the Revell dudes at Telford to see if the Bv 222 due for release does indeed have the Jumo 205s as shown in the catalogue?  The breakdown of the older kit does allow for a new drop in front section with different engines.
Which is nice.

I think it was the M59 which had two engines each one mounted over a track. Kind of weird way to do it.

Good way to maximise the useable volume though. Imagine doing it with a modern electric drivetrain.

The M75 had a common engine and running gear with the Walker Bulldog light tank, and ther was also an SPG based on the same parts. Most of them got given to Belgium when the US Army re-equipped.

IIRC the M59 steered by reving the engine on one side and cutting back the other. Each engine powered its corresponding track.

Right I've had a look at the old box art and the new version to double check I know what you mean. So at least I'll know what I'm talking about even if the guys behind the stand dont. Hopefully they'll have an example of the sprues on display.
