I just had a flick through some images in that
category, and there is
quite a lot that I reckon I'd be able to improve on with my D90 and a
tripod. If only I had a spare day to go and take photos of tanks :)

Tog 1 they don't. The only Cavalier tank
I'm aware of is one in rather
poor condition on the isle of weight. They've got a FV4211 turret but not a
hull. They have got a Rotatrailer.
We have already got a lot of photos from the museum:

So you'd need to be pretty good to improve on what we have. We also
have a lot of tanks from the likes of United States Army Ordnance Museum.
Lighting isn't the greatest. If we could get a samyang 10mm f/2.8 and
match it with the chapter's 60D we might be able to get some pretty good
results.
