Agreed re all the comments above, Roy Dilley was a true gentleman whom I had the pleasure of meeting when I attended the BMSS Aldershot show in 2000. I’d built Dragon Models’ 1/35 Sherman V with 60lb aircraft rockets mounted either side of the turret, & he was kind enough to comment favourably on the model, & also to share his insight into the real thing as he’d served in the Guards Armoured Division during WW2.Two magazine articles penned by Roy also influenced me greatly as a young modeller: both appeared in Airfix Magazine about 1972, in one he converted two Almark (remember them?) 1/32 Japanese infantrymen into a British WW1 Lewis gun team, & in the other he scratchbuilt a 1/32 Pak 38 anti-tank gun & crewed it with figures converted from Almark’s German Panzergrenadiers set. These were two of the best modelling articles I’ve ever read, incredible work.Rest In Peace Roy, a true giant of the modelling hobby.
