Toys R us Draggon waggon ?(or not :-( )

[littletankman]

Hi I took my kids to Toys R us today and they had I think in 1:18 scale what looked simular to the US Draggon waggon . I will have to nip back and get a sneaky pict and post it . If it is Im guessing it will require some work to bring it to better standards . I beleive it was £40 .

Hi im going to try and get a picture . The tralior has a rubbish rocket thingy on it . But think it would look better with a LVT on if it would fit he he .

Heres the pictures . I think it will require some modification ?







I took some more but my Photobuckets playing up.

Hi guys went to see it at toys r us its based on a draggon waggon but its cheap and nasty and not to the right scale you would have to double the width to take a pershing then the rest of it would have to be made bigger as well I ended up getting dragged round asda with the wife as result and it cost me a £150 .

Sorry guys

Hi thats true its a little small I went back and had another look . I measured the trailor width to be just under 5" so no were near wide enougth ? Ive seen them carrying Panthers , my Panthers around 7" . So Im guessing the whole thing is to narrow . It could possibly come to somerthing but you would have to carry out a lot of work on it . I also noticed the trailor wheels are not the same configeration as the draggon waggon.

sorry

Please read the posts and view this in person before splashing out £40 . As theres a lot of issues regarding the scale / size . I wouldnt want any one to waste their money . I was upset once I realised the problems with this both with getting peoples hopes up and the fact I fancyed one myself . I will keep an eye out for one at a car boot sale . I probally wont see one but if I do its better than waisting £40.

Again sorry

Hi Andy you don't need to be sorry mate its a decent lookalike yes the wheels all round are different but if you had a 18th scale tank you would probably get away with it take some of the rubbish off it and a lick of paint it looks the part its just too small for a 16th scale pershing or sherman without major rework but keep the ideas comming.

Hi I would like to have a close look at one (but cant find one on the website),it could be a good start for upgrading fitting motors and steering ,It could also be widened ,the trailers for Tamiya trucks have to be altered.
