Hello! That's a new one on me. I have never seen an Alex Schlakther AFV, but big AFVs, including 1/6, has lots of followers here. I hope one comes along soon. Meanwhile, you've likely seen this: https://sixtharmygroup.com/forums/index ... rip.11127/

Alex Schlakther was the Russian guy behind the Mark 1 tanks. He produced them and Mark 1 Tanks sold them after adding the electronics. Alex has passed away and due to the war with Ukraine, Mark Spencer cannot really get parts from Russia so he's let the Mark 1 tank website (https://mark-1-tank.co.uk/) expire. If you are looking for specific information about the tanks from Mark 1, Mark Spencer is still on Facebook:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/8320713 ... 700798893/

Or if you have specific questions, we may be able to answer them. The tanks went through several changes over their manufacturing lifespan so depending on how old your tank it, there may be some differences from other Mark 1 tanks. If your has scooter motors with chain drive it's probably newer. If not, it's probably an older model.

Oh and if you want to take a look at the old Mark 1 website, you can find it on the Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20180305070 ... nkhome.htm

This is the control box that came with the tank. Does anyone recognize or know anything about it?
