It seems I may not be the only one that would really like to take a crack at 1/6 scale, so I thought it was time to talk about it a bit. Has anyone else been considering this? Lately I've been thinking about an FOA tank, which is not all metal but is considerably more cost effective for me. I'm thinking either a Stug IV

or a Panzer III (I would opt for the Ausf. M)

I could probably swing the basic kit and the motors/gearboxes to start with (not sure if I would need high or low profile for the P3, but they cost the same)

And that would allow me to get the thing together in a static form, with electronics and stuff like sound, rotation/elevation, etc, to come later. I figure I'll have somewhere around $3,000 to $3,500 in it when it's complete, but this would allow me to kind of "pay as I build", if you will. If nothing else it would probably make for a very cool build log.

So what do you guys think? Anybody else wanna take on a big boy? They have some very cool kits, like the Panther G and the Tiger One. And then, I just saw an Armortek Tiger (all metal) for sale but he didn't list a price and it's on the wrong side of the Atlantic so shipping will be horrendous. Not to mention he probably wants at least 5K US for it.
