(Possible) Asuka Sherman Ic hybrid 'Firefly' of the 27th armoured regiment (The Sherbrooke Fusilier Regiment), 2nd Canadian Armoured brigade after heavy rainfall. Should I add the .50 cal machine gun or not? I feel like it is completed for now. Really pleased!

[Request] Post for my 27th birthday [United Kingdom]
Hi folks!
Been wondering for a little while whether to post this, because I’ve only been a member of this community since the start of the year; I’ve only sent like 40 or so cards out so didn’t want to take the mick by ‘taking’ without ‘putting in’ to the community very much if that makes sense.
Anyway I decided to. It’s my birthday on the 26th May (soon I know) and I would love anything that people could send me as a little birthday gift. I’ve really struggled since the beginning of the pandemic with the isolation and my mental health problems have flared up repeatedly and badly. All my favourite places to go and things to do haven’t been possible and I haven’t seen any of my friends for nearly a year and a half.
I collect stamps and love sending and receiving post so I would honestly love anything and would be delighted with even one card! My favourite things are motor racing, cricket and doctor who. I also love nature, trees, birds, flowers and basically all pre 20th century art.
I don’t want to sound demanding though, I would honestly be pleased with anything!
Thank you so much in advance!

Scorpion 90 Light armoured vehicle constructed by united kingdom, showing Indonesian variant.

Armament
For the export market Alvis has fitted a Scorpion with a 90 mm Cockerill Mk III gun. The turret of the Scorpion 90 is designated the AC 90 and is almost identical to that fitted to the basic vehicle. The COCKERILL Mk8 is a medium pressure 48.5 cal 90mm gun designed for vehicles in the 10t to 20t class. Firing high efficiency ammunition, it offers performances very close to the 105mm guns fitted on heavier vehicles. The turret is equipped with fully stabilised day/night (thermal) gunner sight with laser range finder and ballistic computer for firing on the move and at moving targets and a fully stabilised panoramic commander sight offering almost hunter-killer capability. A 7.62 mm machine gun is mounted coaxially to the left of the main armament. A range of four smoke grenades discharger are mounted to each side at the front of the turret.
Protection
The hull of the Scorpion is made of all-welded aluminium armour and provides the crew with protection against attack over its frontal area from 14.5 mm projectiles and against 7.62 mm armour-piercing rounds over the remainder of the vehicle. The aluminium armour is also particularly effective against shell splinters.
Propulsion
The Indonesian version of Scorpion 90 is fitted with the Perkins Engines Company diesel engine. The torsion bar suspension either side consists of five rubber-tyred aluminium road wheels with the drive sprocket at the front and the idler at the rear. There are no track-return rollers. Hydraulic lever-type shock-absorbers are provided for the first and last road wheel stations either side.
Accessories
The Scorpion can ford to a depth of 1 m without preparation. A flotation screen carried collapsed around the top of the hull can be erected by the crew in 5 minutes and the vehicle is then propelled and steered across the stream or river by its tracks at a speed of 6.5 km/h. A propeller kit has also been developed and when fitted the Scorpion has a maximum water speed of 9.5 km/h.
