discussion Flying tank

[papa 695]

The Scorpion or Scimitar are Britisn light tanks around 10 ton each and you can get both kits in 1/35 just google them

Well I've chosen and bought the Academy 1/35 grant m3 and some plasticard (tank is coming from South Korea so could be a while) but I have plenty to do the model has full interior details as the Tiger did so will enjoy that.

Oh poo! I thought you might take the hint about Russian flying tanks and have a go at this one:

That would be a project I could get my teeth into where did you find that I wouldn't mind having a go at scratch building that, I love it absolutely love it.

 

[monica]

will be looking forward to seeing what and how you do the grant m3, ken,

if its the same evilbay seller I, use it dose not take to long about 2 wks, ? i think rightly,

that would be a fantastic build , were did you find that one Gern, ?

Hi all I just checked out thecreviews of this kit and apparently the suspension is out on it, bit since it's going to be nothing like the original I don't think that matters.

Hi moni J3Hobby is that who you use.

I just typed "Russian flying tank" into images on Bing. I think it's based on a real concept for an airliner, but there is some stuff about it on the web.

I take it you'll be looking at 1/32? Anything smaller wouldn't be worth doing!

You're not telling me that actually ever got built.

 

[Guest]

Haha the Germans never even had a working version of the Maus, let alone that huge beast!

Would be an amazing scratch building job though.

Ken,

Check out this wiki link, it'll give you a rough idea of the size of this monster!

I did and they even planed a 1500 tonne tank which (not surprisingly ) they called monster. I am really seriously thinking of doing the K7 I have downloaded actual plan drawings of it (although there are no dimensions or sizes on it) if I do it will be made of cardboard as I couldn't afford plasticard or the likes also I would have to collect enough card, watch this space its more than likely to happen.

Dude if the A team could fly a tank then iam sure anything that you choose would work. da da da, dada da. I love it when a plan comes together.
