[QUOTE=George Jure;12267993]Hello

Like the title says. I am looking for a source of 1/25 motorized chieftain tanks in kit form.I need the kit for a project and it has to be a Chieftain tank.

I have gone through ebay with only the finished Tamiya R.C ones at Tamiya prices.

I remember in the late 60s building one of these,
I am not sure what scale it was but for the day it was big and that was a Tamiya Motorised Chieftain,
It was semi R/C in that it had a hand controller connected by about 5 feet (1.5 Metres) of cable, I reckon it would be pretty easy to make a proper R/C conversion today.
I have never been so frustrated with sticking the tread rubbers into place only for the things to fall off like leaves in the Fall (Autumn),
Are they still available?
Cos with modern glues I might have more success with those tread rubbers.
I wish you good luck with your search George.
