GMballistic Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 That is flippin' awesome!! Love R/c vehicles and always wanted a decent tank but they're not cheap so generally opt for spending my money on vehicles I can ride in. Have you seen the ones that can actually fire shells Mark? Think the one I first saw probably a decade ago was hand made in Germany. Something like below but I'm sure the one I first saw was a 1/5th scale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JEMAN Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 LOL It was made to order. This one was originally owned by the M.O.D along with one other. They attached a frame onto the turret to mount a camera on and used them for some form of training ! The guy who had it has restored it back to how you see it now. Ive got to add some stowage detail and sound system to replicate the gas turbine engines and that sounds amazing.....once complete videos will be added 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMballistic Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Can I be cheeky and ask how much u paid? Pm if you would prefer You'll be looking at a four figure number all day long for something like that from what I know. If it was less than that it was a bargain.

JEMAN Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 No worries.....I paid £800 for it and that was a good price considering they start at £2200 or with some of the extras £2800 !
