Favorite tank? 1. Visually 2. Running

[43rdRecceReg]

The downside to using a 1/6 Tank to tow a lawn mower is I doubt you would have much in the way of a lawn left
Shaun.

Another dream dashed, you old spoilsport I should say that my 'lawn' used to be a field until 2000, and grazed by sheep. Thus, apart from the of odd trees and shrubs I've planted, my 'country pile' (1/4 acre) still looks like the side of a Highland brae in crofting community, rather than centre court at Wimbledon. Still, I do pamper it somewhat. ... ah, but that 1/6 tank-mower. Hmmm., now I understand what drove McToad of McToadhall to distraction!

EASY....as far as RC goes...all of them....but my overall favorite tank would have to be the Chaffee ...not sure it counts...but I already have a running chassis


Once not in my genre so put on the back burner....Now it is...so things have changed

My favourite would be..er... ..the Comet or Cromwell I haven't built (or bought in kit form) yet. That said, I'd quite like a 1/6 scale Firefly with a towbar for my lawnmower. I saw a petrol driven autonomous lawnmower the other day, and that got me thinking..... I could mow the lawn remotely from my lazyboy...using the tank pushing or pulling a mower. Now, that I would love!!

Or you could put blade under your tank to make it a RC mower.

Hmm., that might not be as crazy as it sounds ! After all, snowplough blades and more have been fitted to the real thing..Maybe I could have a version of Hobart's fail tank, adapted to thrash (even thresh) grass instead of landmines!

Easy one for me and probably obvious..
My Fury...love the looks..but she also runs great and battles like a dream...

Well, my dog's legs are pretty short as it is, so I wouldn't want any improvised mowing device making them even shorter.. !

Why mess around? Just put a dozer blade on a sherman and dig the stuff up - it'll make for a better battle ground!

I've always loved the T-72, it's just so long and low and mean-looking. It's a shame there aren't any 1:16 models on offer (yet?), but it seems like Cold War-era stuff gets sadly neglected in the bigger scales. Most of the focus seems to be either WW2 or modern, with not a lot in between.

DAN Hi, You are making a comment that the grumpier ones on this Forum have been making for some years with an emphasis on where the F*** is the CENTURIAN and the CHIEFTAIN and has anyone ever seen a CONQUEROR in 1/16 RC ?
Sorry, but it is a subject that frustrates me because there is an obvious demand.
Oh and welcome to the Forum.
Shaun.
