Takom 1/16 M50 Ontos
Takom 1/16 M50 Ontos
Just saw this today. I don't know how long it'll take for them to bring it to market, but it would be a neat companion piece for Tamiya's M551 Sheridan. https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missing ... 31418.html

That is an interesting subject in 1/16 scale. We still need a mass produced M48 or M60...

Re: Takom 1/16 M50 Ontos
I already expressed my long search for a 1/16 ONTOS elsewhere and I asked if the Takom kit might be rcable?
I await an answer with interest.

The Ontis was my favourite armed vehicle when I was young. That's a must for R/C conversion

I agree but are you willing to throw away all the interior detail to achieve it ?Snowwolflair wrote:The Ontis was my favourite armed vehicle when I was young. That's a must for R/C conversion

Oh, excellent news. As a big fan of US and Vietnam war armour, this tank is a must have for me.

Been kinda waiting to see if DKLM releases the VT100 also since it's in the pic with their M113.

Yes. I did it with Takom's Renault FT and now I have cool small RC tankjarndice wrote:are you willing to throw away all the interior detail to achieve it ?
I hope Takom will continue their colletion of small vehicles and made i.e Polish TKS or Italian tankettes.

Re: Takom 1/16 M50 Ontos
It is surprising what you can do with interior parts to augment other models. A tank engine on the back of a lorry is the obvious one as are shells, and the rest.
