Well, technically it was last WE, but finished my 1st tank, a Tamiya 56005 Sherman.
 
I'll get a build thread up shortly.

Status: offline 		Well, not a tank but military themed and definately RC, last week I bought this toy JEEP from the store. It was only 25 bucks and thought I would see if I truly want an RC truck.

Plus I needed something to chase the dogs (my boyz) with that didn't cost much.

It first looked like this:



And right away I can see why the boyz hated it. It wasn't OD or even a cool multi-colored camo. So, since it didn't go over too well with them and seeing it sit around in civilian colors I decided to change that.

Maybe the boyz will like it better?





So, just a quick strip down and using old Testors paint and an old water slide decal the transformation was complete. It's not much and is still a toy but looks much better sitting around the hobby room.

And the boyz still hate it.

looks good Panther F

looking at the pics i see it looking way better like you said with narrow tires add some jerry cans
and i think chopping the huge bumper off then it would look pretty close to the real deal just a little higher thats all,
cool jeep

here is a pic i chopped the bumper off in photoshop

Status: offline 		Thanks for your suggestion but I already thought of that. Problem is that if the JEEP runs into something with the tires the steering linkage will be damaged. I forget the advertised scale, but it's 11" long and 5 1/2" wide much too big to really be acceptable next to our tanks. Now they do make a 1/16 scale JEEP in RC, but the smaller these things get the worse the undercarriage starts to look and I really only wanted it to play with the boyz with so anything smaller than this will not run very well outside.

Still might get a 1/16 just to see what really can be done but these are modern day JEEPs and don't look right for WWII. Gotta look for a HUMMER.

I went to Toys R Us yesterday after finishing the JEEP looking for a car just for the RC gear to possibly work with my Kubels. A Team Losi is just too expensive right now (seeing how it wont get that much use) so a toy grade RC will have to do. Already have one I think will work for the Schwimmwagen ... too bad they were not 4WD in real life. I do want to make it amphibious too so there lies the challenge.


It was a fun project to take a break from building tanks.

Some Nice panthers, cool idea with the jeep, Red Cross half track is nice, Kenworth wrecker will be a monster when it is finished, and Joe I am sorry to hear that your Sherman bait broke down.

Status: offline 		I think I will attempt to RC one of the 21st Century toys ... the Dodge Staff Car. Still the wrong scale but large enough it dwarfs the 1/16 Kubel and it's already built and a little more hardier plastic to work with.

This way my expensive Schwimmwagen won't get hacked up. Too bad I can't find an affordable 1/16 JEEP. I think the Danbury piece is too heavy.
