BMW R12 w/ Sidecar, Civilian Version & DUKW British Royal Army

Bish - thanks for your info. Not only your rank is ***, but also your language. It doesn't make sense that "come" doesn't rhyme with "home", for example.

TD4438, thanks for your kind words! I'm running out of display space. Last Friday I ordered 3 more aluminum/glass display cases, 3' wide, 2' high and 1' deep, very much like this one which is only 2.5' wide:

They'll be placed on top of existing display cases in my showroom. They cost me $200 (about $67 each) and they'll be full in a matter of months, not years. After that I'll need another showroom.

Some very nice additions to your collection MM.

Ye, the navy has a  Royal title, as does the Air Force and marines, its just the Army that doesn't. There doesn't seem to be a deffinat answer as to why the Army doesn't, some say it goes back to the Civil war. But as i mention, some units have a Royal title, such as Royal Engineers, Royal Anglian Regiment. Other units don't have the title, but are still Royal Regiments, such as mine, The Duke of Lancasters. Us Brits never like to keep things simple.

I believe you since you are in it. Has anyone told Italeri that they goofed? What about the Navy? Do they have "Royal" in front? I think they should because all your ships still have HMS (His/Her Majesty Ship) in front of the names.

No offence meant, but model companies have been known to get things wrong now and again. I have been in the British Army for 20 years, and i can promise you there is no Royal in the title. There are Royal Regiments and Corps, but no Royal Army.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Bish! These were built as stand-alone. The DUKW got a make-shift setting (a tray fill with water) to get some wet feeling. I've done that before with small ships & amphibian armors.

There is "Royal" in it, take a look here:

See?

Some nice work, is he planning on turning them into Dio's or they staying free standing.

Just one minor point, it's just British Army, theres no Royal in it.
