Well ...I had to do some searching... I remembered a post Comrade Losif... where a resin Stalin was being built using the Kv1 chassis..here's the link for that discussionSergeimosin wrote: For some awful reason I couldn't find the Juckenburg store on a regular google search (saw him mentioned in a thread about early Brumbar kits), so thanks for the link (the funeral for my bank account will be held next week)
I literally just made some last night. Chicken with portabellos, potatoes, onions, my secret family spice blend, and farmers cheese.
It's a sort of 'alternate earth' anime, where the national sport for young women is driving WWII tanks and shooting live ammo at eachother. But don't worry, the tanks have a protective coating, so the girls don't get hurt.Sergeimosin wrote: Also, what is this "girls und panzer" thing I've been seeing so much about?!
Hi Serge... as Lert explained... it's a Japanese Anime...it's what I model my tanks after.... pretty light hearted .....humorous with a light touch of old fashioned competitive violenceSergeimosin wrote:I literally just made some last night.

Also, what is this "girls und panzer" thing I've been seeing so much about?! (Plus, I'm totally sending that video to an old friend of mine, Tovarisch Starshina Katya Ilyavich, and demanding to know why she didn't look like some form of mutant cabbage patch doll while singing Katyusha the last time we got to ride around in an armored column...)
? ??? ??????? ? ?. And why does it take them 5 episodes to suddenly discover that the hull gun on the Lee isn't just there to look pretty? I mean the turreted gun is more for show than anything, but the 75 in the hull is their main armament and they hardly ever use the thing. Also, who thought it was a good idea to fire an assault gun while moving? And while we're on the subject, since when does a Churchill VII [or a Matilda II for that matter] move fast enough to keep up with a Pz 35t? So many questions...).Sergeimosin wrote:So I watched some of those Girls Und Panzer episodes... holy cow the tactics are atrocious (seriously... T34s on point when you have perfectly good IS-2s in formation?!
What you saw is the first few episodes...the last one was a compilation...did you not notice the paint jobs Oarai school was very green during the first few eps... they didn't know anything about tankery...it wasn't till the match with Pravda did the team really meld together 
...Your questions can only be answered by watching the anime in it's entirety The best answer for this is Yes... If you can find the old tamiya 1/35th scale remote tanks (wired ) you can take the gearboxes... (some were metal)... and wire them to an rc board instead of the wired handset you would probably need the same set up in 1/16...as the chassis on that is very narrow... fitting the normal sized gearboxes would probably be impossible...as with the T38 Panda Kit...or the verlinden Stuart..the other obstacle would be the suspension bogies and tracksSergeimosin wrote: Anyway, I've been meaning to ask. Is there a way to convert static model kits to RC vehicles? Because I found a 1/35 model of the tank one of my grandfathers trained in (the Hotchkiss 39(f) mit Panzerwerfer) and after I build it and paint his name on the side I'm probably going to try to find a 1/16 scale one for RC matches.
I've seen 1/35th scale kits... but nothing bigger than that...Sassgrunt's chassis is really something to see... as he is a detail oriented builder...and has combined a couple of heng longs to get where he is...trying my best on this end to get him to post some photos of his builds... he has a lot of interesting ones going...even the captured T34Sergeimosin wrote:SMK ahoy!
Never even seen a model kit for that big beautiful oddity... Nor for the T-100 (which looks almost identical except for the turret mounting tower, which is squared off at the back of the 100). Some of the crazy designs the Russians came up with are just funny to look at... though nothing is quite as loony as the T-35 Heavy... That thing... just... yeah. 5 turrets is just a tiny bit unnecessary in an armored vehicle right?
