Will the BT-42 be coming out at the same time as the BT-7?

Nice, that thing is so dumb and I love it

Will it be able to drive without tracks like the real thing?

I rather like the look of the speedy BT-7 myself .. The front is reminiscent of an older style formula 1 race car... and this tank, it appears, could do almost 50MPH on the road flat out.
This could be a bumper year for innovation, judging by the prototypes being unveiled on the thread

No, the BT-7 will not be drivable without track like the real thing but I would interested in seeing somebody modify one.

The BT-42 will be offered as an option for those who want the Finnish SP so no worries about needing a 100 piece MOQ. As with his other plans, production will commence once the 100 minimum is met for the BT-7 chassis.

Keep in mind this, Cromwell & other pending releases are going to be done as single limited runs similar to how Armortek operates so if you're interested in getting one, best place your order once the buy period is open.

Again, Clark will be adding these to his website soon. Cheers!

Yes, it's quite an interesting tank.

And, now I know where Audi got their Le Mans sports car design from. . . .

FYI, Clark will have his RTR tank page up next week on his website http://www.clark-model.com

For those on Facebook, you'll want to join his user group to place orders for the BT-7 & Cromwell.

Thanks for the craziness side dish, Mick. It's the extras that add colour (or sepia ) to any main course.
Clearly, some of those vids have been given the 'Keystone Cops' slapstick treatment. Nonetheless, the BT 7 cut a pretty quick and mean furrow.
With a similar Christie suspension, the speedy Cromwell (known to manage 47MPH, ungoverned) could run rings around some enemy tanks.... and needed to. That's why losing the speed advantage in Bocage country lanes, or narrow streets, like the Main Street of Villers-Bocage was so crucial. Not a great place to get trapped with Michael Wittmann's Tiger 88mm drawing a bead..
Here's a Cromwell performing tricks. I must try a scale simulation of this one day. There's a celebrated instance where three Cromwell's leapt a 20 ft canal, to avoid a battery of 88s.

Id love to see an interview with the driver after he landed that !!
