The RAM/SEXTON File

1. Ram – Canadian Military Historical Profile Series #2 – Canadian Military Historical Society, Canada, 1981. Two (2) 8.5" x 24" card pages. English text.

This is the second of 20 in this oddly formatted information profile series. Each has a small amount of technical and historical text, as well as some interesting interior sketches taken from the original vehicle manuals. While a huge amount of information is not provided, when the entire series is taken into consideration, its value to the Canadian vehicle modeler becomes clear. Only 1000 of these sets were printed, so the chance of finding one is quite slim.

2. Ram and Sexton – AFV Profile #13 – Profile Publications Ltd., England. S/C 16pp. English text w/ colour centre spread profiles of the Ram II and Sexton.

A typical Profile Publication with many photographs and an approximately equal split between technical details and service experience. For this title, a little less service information is provided because the Ram gun tanks never saw combat. However, this is more than made up by the additional information provided on the Sexton, Kangaroo and Ram OP and ARV variants. An essential reference for any modeler of Canadian vehicles.
