The "Bob Semple" tank (as it is better known) is a truly interesting
chapter in tank history.  According to the few resources on the
subject 3 to 4 where produced and the New Zealand army used them in
parades throughout the country.  The fact that more than two were
built (series production) and the army used them in parades (active
service) qualifies it for R/C Tank Combat!
