I keep hearing that the hold up with the T55 is the electronics - they can go ahead and get tooled for the Elephant while they are waiting, as it will probably use most (if not all) of the same parts.

Looks like they're working in Unigraphics - I wonder if they need another designer....?

Tanks are not supposed to be pretty, it's the shear size and ugliness of the Elefant i likegrim_marmazet wrote: I dont know what everyone see's in the Elefant. I think its ugly and lacking the style of the other German AFV's.
Just my 2 pence, lol![]()

Re: Hooden Elefant
Hi guys for me if they stuck all the bits in a box I would love to build this tank and fit Tamiya DMD/mf units inside it .But if they managed to do the electrics that would be better and cheaper ,as for price Ive seen they will be more than the Heng Long about half the price of a Tamiya .Which for the tanks they are doing is good ,they are supposed to be bringing a electrics kit (Tamiya compatable battle system) which you can buy as an add on so could be used for other tanks .
