Last week this arrived, and I was nearly giddy when I took it out of the box.
It has a zillion features. It's fourteen inches long and weighs over eleven pounds, and when the after-market metal bogies are installed it will bring the weight up to just over thirteen pounds...the more the weight, the better the traction.
This photo is the out-of-the-box model, but I will be spending some time detailing and painting it.
Forward, backward, turns, headlights and tail-lights, rotating turret, elevating gun, firing sounds and recoil (which rocks the whole tank!) for main gun and for light-up machine gun, engine smoke, and incredible engine sound...all that and it fires BBs too!
It is pretty fabulous, and I'll keep you posted as things develop. By the way, the BB gun is so powerful that it dents drywall (don't ask).
Soldier on!

Now where was this thing when I was a kid in the 60's?!?. I know you will do a great job authentically detailing and weathering it. But if ya wanna demo some of the dented drywall action, I think that would be a cool little video. I enjoy your posts so please keep showing us your collection. -- Gary in Texas
Thanks Gary, you can be sure that I will keep you posted.
