I have to admit the modern tanks although wonderful in there own way the tanks and halftracks from ww2 are the ones i luv the most.
You can keep your abrams and merkervas the tiger, panthers, shermans and T34's are what make me tick.

Good morning,
For looks and running, It's a close tie between the 'Crackerbox Palace' capture KV-2 and the recent StuG Ausf B. As Tom noted, Pershings are great runners as well and mine is no slouch in the outdoors.
regards,
Painless

Best runner I have - Leopard 2A6, modern electrics and that noise!
Best looking, rugged old Tiger I.

You can't get away with that Max. I've seen your movies, you do have favourites!

My favourite would be..er...

..the Comet or Cromwell I haven't built (or bought in kit form) yet. That said, I'd quite like a 1/6 scale Firefly with a towbar for my lawnmower. I saw a petrol driven autonomous lawnmower the other day, and that got me thinking.....

I could mow the lawn remotely from my lazyboy...using the tank pushing or pulling a mower. Now, that I would love!!

The downside to using a 1/6 Tank to tow a lawn mower is I doubt you would have much in the way of a lawn left

If we're talking about tanks yet to be built or acquired, then it's very, very easy ... wait for it ...
WASSERSCHLEPPER!!!
Not really a "tank" but it's one I really, really want.
