Tank transporter
Been messing around with some Bruder stuff, and some other stuff to build a transporter for my modern tanks.

Re: Tank transporter
Nice job of work, I found the Bruder trailer very adaptable BUT the only Tanks that look ok are Panzer 4s /Sherman's etc.You can get 1/16 scale winches and with a length of chain attached with the winch bolted (Yes bolted) to the trailer bulkhead it really does look the part.
I think I am about to upset someone

Re: Tank transporter
Currently this is WIP and just mocked up for trial purposes.It needs more work. Cab needs changing to a Scania, axels need widening, chassis needs shortening on the tractor unit. Trailer could do with widening by about 30mm, but I can put wide load, and warning boards, and flashing lights on it. Lengthwise, it will carry a Leopard.
And what I am aiming for.

Re: Tank transporter
Looks terrific! Some day if I ever do an MBT, I'd have to give that transporter a try! Great work Mr. Rat! That last picture, cool rig - a bunch of tyres - do the call it a Centipede?

Re: Tank transporter
I just checked https://www.brudertoys.com/ and https://brudertoyshop.com/ on Scania trucks. I don't see one spot on the grill design as in the photos you show. Drat! That would have made an easier start.
Bruder toys are so cool! I bought no few for my late wife's grandchildren. And years and years ago such fun preparing one of the monthly reviews in which my friend and I covered the Bruder Grimme SE75-30 potato picker. I remember our laughing at the idea that each of the eighty little plastic potatoes included in the box fit well in ones nose!
