Not to many of these babies running around


the M41 PATTON

Thanks Alpha

The M-47 is a good idea ....but i also have an interest in the M_48A3
To go with the bulldog and chaffee ....nice to see them go up against a t55
Vietnam comes to mind ..especially with the ontos......

Did a t44 about 3 years ago

That was before I got into the hobby so missed that.

His about a kv220

Panther M10 Ersatz?

Ohh been done too many times .....

If you want a good build that would be unique, might I suggest the Cheiftain? Tamiya do a 1/25 that you could copy, I want to do one myself, but the road wheels would be the biggest challenge. It's a great looking tank, Brit Armour etc. If you really wanted to push the boat out, the Matilda would be a good one, but again the road wheels and suspension would be a headache.

Hello Mcevoy....you are more than welcome... I was just tossing in a few cents ...I was going to mention the M 48....but those are also pretty common in 1/6th scale...I don't know what it is... but I get the feeling you like to build the unusual ...reason the ONTOS jumped to the front .. as I would thoroughly enjoy seeing one created as the tank itself isn't all that common.... but now that you mention the VIETNAM era .... How about this one

the M551 SHERIDAN.....I think she was the last of the light/ medium class tank...add to that I don't think I've ever seen one of those built as well...except in 1/35 that is
From my point of view the SHERIDAN is almost a super challenge ... not because of the hull... but the turret




It's unique.. with it's clam shell shape...It'll take a lot of mathematics to recreate that baby ...not to mention outfit it with remote gear...as I would imagine... things will be pretty tight in there even in 1/6 scale

One thing for sure... there's a lot of tanks out there...and it sure would be nice to see some of the forgotten ones recreated

ALPHA

Apologies mcevoy... I hope I am not contributing too much but since you mention the M48AI

How about this gal


the M60A2 also a veteran of the Vietnam era...but long forgotten

M48 sounds good - an easy transformation from the M26... use my one as a base

There used to be a guy who sold hand made metal ones on ebay...I would imagine it was worth the cost...just not for me
