Default RE: RC Sci-Fi tank battles??

It seems every tank forum brings up the Behemoth on different occasions over the years, but how many modelers have ever actually built one?

Way back in (I think) 1997, a modeler by the name of Brian Fowler built one out of several kits & a lot of scratch built parts (full original here)



"Building the Model

Here are components for the KV-VI:

2 X Tamiya KV-II
2 X Tamiya KV-IE
AER T-38
Italeri BT-5
Italeri Katyusha
Zvezda T-60
DML IS-II tracks

I cut and "welded" three KV hulls and repositioned two center return rollers. I widened one of KV-II turrets and added a second 152mm gun, the pedestal for main turret is shaving cream can lid. Additional MG bustles are recast from originals in resin. The T-60 and T-38 turrets were recast from originals, while the flamethrowers and turrets are scratchbuilt. The AA DT machine gun and mount are from Model Kasten and the twin DsHK machine guns are from Verlinden. The model was painted with Polly Scale and markings are from MB models and Verlinden."
