The will be 3D printed M3 soon. It's 1/6, but there shouldn't be any problems with rescaling.

Can someone buy one of these, chop it up. Turn it into the m3 Stuart version used by ol Blighty along side Matildas then let me know how to do it so I can then buy another and chop it up and do the same?
Exactly!
Mike.

Found on YT: damn it's fast. I wonder what gearbox is used. It needs to be slowed down so it doesn't go crazy like Formula 1.

It is quite a speedy little thing Kaczor, it does have two speed settings but it doesn't make too much of a difference, after all it was a light tank capable of 35-36 mph so I suppose it used it's speed to get out of sticky situations

Started to make some sandbag armour for it this morning, got to wait for it to set now before moving onto details

I used super fine white milliput as that's the only colour that I had left

once it's set I will prime them ready for paint
Cheers,Lee.

Hope it can run at a much slower speed as well.... Otherwise it is speed run with tank
Looks super good with those sandbags there, isn't a material I know, maybe you have a link to it?

Milliput is just a brand of sculpting putty RKRC, you take equal amounts of the putty and knead together, it can be used for multiple applications and once set it is rock hard, hope this helps
