Nice...is it going to smoke like the real one? Used to run with them in Germany and man, can they put up a smoke screen[X(] That engine really smoked like hell. Germans didn't like them because they were so heavy, loud and tore up the pavement. [&:] The gun on that tank was very impressive. Tank looked like it was carrying a telephone pole and on the range, they totally outclassed our 90mms in range. Our tanks had rubber chevron tracks, which made us the lesser of the two evils running through towns Of course, tossing candy to the kids and buying a couple biers going through the town helped.

LOL!!! thanks PC. No, this is just a static model, and no plabns to rc it. I do have a C1 Ariete that I plan to make rc, if my eyes can stay straight long enough. This scale is too small for me.

10-4. I am doing dioramas for my museum in 1;35. Man, 1;16 scale will spoil you on modelling. I'm doing a Vietnamese village now, and building the hootches with bamboo etc gets sticky. They were thinking smaller, like 1;72 and I told them I don't do that small stuff. If I want to tax my eyes more, I'll go back to classifying fingerprints.

The more you drink, also known as applying digit lubricant and optics enhancements, the easier it becomes in micro scale. Nice job, I see you used plenty of the aforementioned liquids. And that Leo behind it still hurts my eyes!

Man, does it work on the eyes too[X(] I though only bagpipe players drank to preserve the condition in the bag. Drinking never did enhance my digit.[:-]
