I've managed to get a hold of a Type 59 Battle Tank on a recent visit to China. It's currently in Hong Kong and I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a decent shipping company to get it to Australia. It's a 1959 model and is covered under classic tank insurance.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Can you not dismantle it and bring the bits in separately?

I hope you've got your licence sorted out before you ship it in. Also make sure you claim the First Tank Owners Grant, I believe it's currently $10,000

We'll I thought about about that but WA is China's biggest trading partner. I wouldn't want to put a bomb under the resources boom:)
