Now that would be cruel. I'd definitely have to object to that.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Shame! If it was the Type 58 I brought one of those in a year ago and could have talked you through it. The 59 has a whicker basket to keep ear plugs in and so Quarantine will have the whole tank destroyed.

Seriously though (

) Will it fit in a 40ft container? If so, Crown are a global company so you could get them to deliver it. They would still find a way to dent the armour plating though.

They didn't make a T58, the T59 was the first of the series of Chinese T battle tanks although it was a copy of the Russian medium T54A

Anyway I thought Crown were crap?
