Oh boy after all these postings and reading about these cool 1/16 Tank and Panzer I really got in the mood. After I saw two of these Tamiya 2.4 ghz kits on ebay I googled a bit to get more intell and Oh suprise saw both off them for half price at an german online store. So I decided to order one.
( I am a bit running out of space, another bruiser and to many M38 so thats why I went for 1/35 )

So here it goes, the box


Inside the box


Oh boy it is all so tiny


Sorry bit fuzy


I skip the details, so here's the finished hull minus electronics and paint.


All installed, it's pretty cramped inside, thinner and a bit more flexible wiring would have been nice same for the plugs


The rear gearboxes and speaker


Turret and maingun motor unit plus MFU


Inside the turet, infrared receiver and led to maingun




Battle unit prism and infrared led


Case closed








Next up is some weathering, already tried just a little bit but here's the last pic for now.


ps. don't let the pics fool u, if i remove the sleeper cabin the T34 would fit in the rear of my bruiser

Excellent bit of tank fever.

Yeah i am afraid it wont be too long till a 1/35th Panther Type G Late Production will arrive.

and they even got mines to go with these tanks
Tank Land Mine Simulation - TSM-02

Yes, thats one of the vids that pulled me over the edge.

and this is nice too

They are so funny to run. I have one modern us tank and the kubelwagen in 1/16. It is more a toy but it is very cool to run it

Stop all this tank talk guys... they are just too awesome. I want one too!

Yes we should stop, this is awesome
