That was an M3 Lee or Grant (I don't remember which one - one was used by the British; 1 was used by the Americans) if I'm not mistaken.

Here is a rather sketchy photo of the M3 Lee known as 'Lulubelle' - made for the film...

There is always the option of a Japanese sub too, and if memory serves various other aircraft...

now if you could do the P-40 at the gas station ...

Glad to help, Paul! @yellow10

Lulubelle was also the name of a similar tank in Bogart's 'Sahara'.

Apparently Kubrick said it was ‘great, but not funny’. I think it is highly irreverent and that comes with issues. Spielberg argues that it was born a little out of his arrogance following on from the acclaim for Jaws and Close Encounters.

I definitely fall into the ‘dunno much about art but I know what I like’ bracket when it comes to film. I have a soft spot for Belushi and Aykroyd, and there are parts of this film that still make me laugh. It got three academy award Noms and made £95m having cost £35. Neither particularly an unqualified source of recommendation but I guess even Spielberg’s turkeys are the envy of many.

One of the reasons I chose this was because Spielberg was rueful over his relationship with the ‘model’ dept during the production and it is said to have led him to remedy that situation for Raiders. That and the fact that I can try to get a couple of figures to depict B and A. while building a P40 and a version of Lulubelle.

Anyone of delicate constitution should note that there is one minor expletive in the following clip:

So I am thinking Takom 1/35th M3 and Hasegawa 1/32 P40E. But I’m happy to listen to advice from any with experience of these or other kits!
