Herman,
*chuckles* No, no 'diverted' Night Fighter hardware. While it is true that I have a late War Panther G, the build on it was completed a long time ago. I may add a new lower hull one day but that is some time into the future. Too many current projects lining up right now. ;o)
regards,
Painless

One of my favorite times, weekend afternoons spent unboxing elaborate armor. Pics can tell the tale. ;o)
P.S. It looks like more crew figures will be required. ;o)

Alpha,
It is an amazing piece. They took "Extreme Detail" to heart with that one! The halftrack is super nice as well. It would be possible to RC it if you went basic.

Painless

Ok so who can print up some plastic tracks for the half track in the above pics? I have one and I'd love to make it into an R/C half track but the tracks it comes with arent meant to do more then just sit there.

Anyone have any ideas?

Jack,
You will have a lot of fun build the Flak. It looks like insane detail can be built into a kit version of it. Hopefully someone will pop up with printed working tracks for the 251 series halftrack.

Painless
