When they come out with the Brit. A-13 and a Honey I will start the tanks. As a youngster I was awakened many mornings by 10 or 20 light tanks rumbling up the street to the rail siding. All the neighborhood kids turned up to watch them drive up the ramp to the loading dock and pivot onto the waiting flat cars. Some were painted OD and had Army serials. Most were in British desert colors as Lend-Lease equipment for North Afrika. Those were exciting times to be growing up --- when you are 7 or 8 the death and destruction doesn't enter your mind. Good luck with the bogies -- I'm sure you'll have them looking just as good as the rest of the tank.
