Does anyone make a Scimitar tank in a large scale such as 1/16 etc, I would quite like to get a model of one of these, as I think it would look good when traveling at high speed.
I was once passed by one of these while driving through Thetford Chase, I was traveling at about 30mph on the road and the scimitar was about 100 feet away on the Chase, a very spectacular sight.

Re: Scimitar tank
hi there
not 1/16 .. but i think its about 1/8 or poss 1/9 its a reasonable looking scimitar
380144901759 on evilbay .. there are more about .. i recomend if you have a toy master look there as i think there about £29.99
from what i can see the turret roof needs work as its been designed for an action man type figure .. so there only one hatch and not two ... its also not radio controlled ... but its a starting place

That looks something like I'm after, I was thinking of using Walker Bulldog running gear or something similar. What I'll have to do is see if I can find one in the shops, so I can get an idea of the size etc.

Re: Scimitar tank
There is The Muckleburgh Collection in Norfolk which does that sort of thing, but I think they use an Abbot for the "Experience".Dragon245 wrote: If you want a try Ive seen various "experience " sites that let you go in a spartan, scorpion varient. would recommend it
