Flying tank

[Guest]

They do look good but I did have my heart set on a tank having said that is there a tank that doesn't have tracks as I really didn't like doing the individual links on the Tiger I built or is there a manufacturer that produces a challenger with the tracks in one piece.

alot of the kits still have the rubber tracks or even just post on hear for some, as maybe someone has,

or ever still i have seen ww11 pic,s of Russian tanks running with out the tracks on,

[Guest]

Thanks moni I may do that when I make my mind up and actually get the kit

[Guest]

The Scorpion or Scimitar are Britisn light tanks around 10 ton each and you can get both kits in 1/35 just google them

Well I've chosen and bought the Academy 1/35 grant m3 and some plasticard (tank is coming from South Korea so could be a while) but I have plenty to do the model has full interior details as the Tiger did so will enjoy that.

Oh poo! I thought you might take the hint about Russian flying tanks and have a go at this one:

That would be a project I could get my teeth into where did you find that I wouldn't mind having a go at scratch building that, I love it absolutely love it.

[monica]

will be looking forward to seeing what and how you do the grant m3, ken,

if its the same evilbay seller I, use it dose not take to long about 2 wks, ? i think rightly,

that would be a fantastic build , were did you find that one Gern, ?

Hi all I just checked out thecreviews of this kit and apparently the suspension is out on it, bit since it's going to be nothing like the original I don't think that matters.

[Guest]

Hi moni J3Hobby is that who you use.

I just typed "Russian flying tank" into images on Bing. I think it's based on a real concept for an airliner, but there is some stuff about it on the web.

I take it you'll be looking at 1/32? Anything smaller wouldn't be worth doing!
