British Abbott Self Propelled Gun

[Saxondog]

Wow,120mm main gun. Composite armor,I can understand the disappointment of to few 1/16 scale British Armor of any era,Are their any 1/16 scale British Tanks available static or RC?

none at all blake you would have figured that the brits never played any part in any war or conflict as no one seems interested?

[Saxondog]

Well that is too bad,but the British Navel Fleet has left a large mark.Even Tamiya produces more British warships than American,that is only right considering the influence British sea power held for several hundred years,kinda sucks for the armor modeler though.In time a British Tank will surface.

cant you pop it in the wardrobe and when she spots it just tell her "oh that old thing ive had it ages"

Not after having the 1/6 Tiger shipped to a friends house without telling her I had purchased it.If I pull anymore stealth Tank operations I could wake up dead.

I have talked with Pam about my intention,still a lot of money but I feel it is a positive move for me at this point in life.And their is a very good example of what can be designed and machined with this Router based CNC ,Chris3 and his very well made parts. cheers Blake
