I'm not usually given to fluffy posts but I'm in a fanciful frame of mind.

So what tank related escapade would YOU embark on should you win 260 million after taxes?

Have a Tiger I in 1:1 scale built from scratch?

Buy one of every tank ever made?

Start your own model manufactury?

This isn't a solicitation for altruistic, charitable ideas but rather a me- first I wanna do sort of thing.

The more far fetched the better....

Jerry

Status: offline 		I think it would be cool to have a real 1:1 StuG III G. It seems to bee an easy to maintain tank. After that maybe every Tamiya Full Option Kit with every after market add on that could be had. Lots of Asiatam upgrade for the HL's I own and want to buy. And the big dog..... a 1/6th scale StuG III G from R/C Armory if they ever release it and a 1/6th scale Panther from Armortek. Then retire form work to build all this stuff and travel to Danville or any battle reenactments to play with my 1:1 StuG III G!!!!!

Status: offline 		Well, being out of work currently, this would help to pay some bills first...then I would buy a very large piece of property where I would build a house, out back would be a very large garage for all the custom mustangs and corvettes to sleep in and work on. Then next to it would be the tank restoration building...1:1 scale of course. Out back I would set up another building with a dedicated battlefield for NEAD and any other clubs who wanted to attend, complete with a workshop and parts stock room for all rc tanks.
Providing the porperty was large enough, I would also have a drag strip built to pass the time when the tanks weren't being battled. that would be a whole lot of fun for everyone. I could then roll out of bed and fall into whatever hobby caught my attention that day. Figure, I would be broke in a year and looking for work again....but it would be fun while it lasted LOL

Status: offline 		lol, the odds of winning are 170,000,000 to one...that being said, I would have a slightly updated verson of a king tiger built(1:1 scale), figure 50 mill would cover that.....buy a ranch in montana(10-15 million) and use the 88mm for deer hunting...that and keeping those dam kids off my lawn.

Damn, doubt 250 million would be enough to get control of Tamiya.

I'd by 3 collectable IMAI Elephant kits. Then BUILD them just to piss off Collector/Investors.

But mainly, since I live a Class 3 friendly state, I'd buy transferable MGs like, FG-42 (Types I & II), an MG 42, an MG 34, an MP 28, an MP 18 and a Johnson LMG.


But, course, I'm dreaming.....,

Status: offline 		*sigh* Thought about this all too often, but our lottery pots ain't that high, 50 mil or so tops.

Firstly, pay off parents house, as I owe Dad for looking after me when I was sick. Then, put most of the rest in the bank, so I can live off the interest. Then buy an economical small van for carting my R/C models about, and a place to live with lots of space nearby to run my beasties.

And then I splurge on one of my dream R/C's: Peter Mueller's Faun SLT 50-2 'Elefant' 8x8 w/ trailer (http://www.sonderfahrzeug-modellbau.com/_home/_deu/0000009c9c0a63615/0000009ca30d8923a/index.html)

Then ask Tamiya and the IDF how much to get the rights to have Tamiya make their Merkava 4 in 1/16 scale. Heck, the German modellers supposedly did it for the 2A6, so why not sommat else?

Oh, and see how much to ~pay~ to get a gut transplant, so I can survive long enough to enjoy my moolah. Yea, they do it. They can transplant almost everything 'cept the brain these days.

Anything left off the 'interest' on the dinero buys me more Tamiya tanks, and some more boats, and I try to learn how to handle choppers.

Oh, and a few more siamese cats. Can't have just one, nope.

I agree about the Johnson LMG.

I'd have to set up a second residence in a Class 3 friendly state; I'd try to find a Lathi 20mm as good as the one I foolish sold in the late 1970s. ( I had it when this state still allowed them).

"I'd buy transferable MGs like, FG-42 (Types I & II) " <- just finding these will cost a bundle; what did they make like only 1,000?

I'd also follow Rex's idea any try to convince Littlefield's heirs to sell me the Panther, StuG III, Pershing, SdKfz 8 halftrack
and Chaffee; oh yeah and maybe a T-34, Hetzer and PzKw IV....

I'd create multi scale ( 1/10 and 1/16 ) running area to simulate Normandy, Kursk, North Africa and Central Italy, with towns, bridges, animatronic special effects, mine fields, electric lighting ( for buildings, streets and etc) FPV and remote cameras all over and live steam engine driven railroads appropriate to the scale as well as a lake with functional transports.

And that's just for starters...

I'd probably hire folks to execute my 1/10 model projects the way I want them.... just to save time.

Status: offline 		I always wanted a real F-16 and a T-38 Talon. So, I'll get one of each. I think I'll also need to buy a large hangar to store them in. Don't want people playing with my toys when I'm not flying them!
Then I can sell off all my R/C jet toys.

Who needs toy jets when you have real jets? Besides, a real T-38 will attract a lot more beautiful women than a model T-38 ever can! I'm sure I'll get a lot more beautiful women / models!

I'd rather have a female model than a model toy any day!!!

*I foolishly sold an MG 42 a few years back. Needed the dough. Been kicking myself ever since.

I the German's made 2,000 Type Is nd 5,000 type IIs. Actually the Type IIs have been offered for sale at auctions several types in the last few years. And yep, they went for WELL over 100K. I've seen a Type I offered for sale in THIS country. If you get the book "Death From Above" there is a Lawyer that has over 15 (!!!!!) FG 42 Types Is and IIs!!!
