Hi razzer-b
I don't know if its any help ( I normally scratch build ), but my wife has just let me treat myself for chrimbo and I have just brought an M16 halftrack from torro at 159 euro's plus P&P to the UK is only 18 euro's total cost = 177 euro's (about £138). it came in 7 days from ordering and was well packaged. First impressions from the box was its "to shiny", but I'm going to weather it and add some more details and and a bit of artwork. There is a guy who goes around the war weekend circuit with one so I'm going to base mine on his. If I have any running problems I'll let you know but at the moment its goes round my garden okay and so far has repealed a few attacks from our new kitten with no bother
regards Denzil

HI" Denzil thanks for your feedback it sounds ok' had few looks on youtube and as you say storms around garden pretty good thinking about it still as it a lot deferent to a tank fixing problems an braking of parts but the M16 is still my most interest for next build thinking very hard hope the kitten dont suffer to much lol'' thay soon learn to head for the hills when thay hear the engine start-up , cheer 's Ray,

I've had to replace the tracks once, but that was only because they had stretched a little, they were still servicable, she just threw a track every now and again

Hey fynsdad... isn't it cool when they do throw treads ? ...I know some freak when they do... but at time I love it.. it's kind of realistic... as the vehicle with just turn My first Panzer III did it all the time... enjoyed every minute
