1/16 cheiftan

Post by tiger205 »

hi all
        i know next to nothing about modern tanks, so this may sound a daft question, does anyone make a 1/16 chieftan?, or would it be possible to make one from one of the modern 1/16 offerings, i ask this because i like the chieftan and wouldnt mind a 1/16 rc model of one, as i used to have a little one that fired bullets when i was a nipper.

Hi Tony,

As yet nobody makes a 1:16 Chieftain, Centurion, or Challenger!!!!
A situation that is simply ridiculous.

Cheers

the chassis and running gear wouldnt be a world away just the turret and superstructure would be fun due to the curved surfaces but not impossible ;) ;)
