JEMAN Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi guys, here’s a pic of my remote controlled Challenger 2 tank. It’s 6ft long and weighs 14 stone. It’s a powerful lump running on 2 mobility scooter motors and steel gearbox.....12volt It has sound, smoke, fast rotating turret and barrel elevation. I’ve done loads of detailing on it and it’s nearly finished lol Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DUNKS Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 I actually know the effort it takes to produce something like that . Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Burpster Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Wow, just wow. 😍Have you built it from scratch or is there a kit? It looks very accurate and as Dunks says (his sons make very large r/c planes) it takes a lot of commitment to model at that scale! 👍 Edited February 10, 2019 by The Burpster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 That looks great fun! Fabulous work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEMAN Posted February 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks guys, the tank comes pre made and running.......but fairly basic.....so I’ve opened up lots of the hatches and detailed them with working hinges etc. Painted it and made various parts for it including a rear cage for Jerry cans.......The figures are 12inches so it kinda gives a bit of an idea of the scale........I even made 1/6 scale ratchet straps for the rear fuel drums and Bungee cords lol......that’s what I luv about it, you can just keep adding to it......here’s a few more pics of bits I’ve made for it 👍 oh and I added Brad Pitt (war daddy) to the crew lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
