As a Canadian I should say the lepoard but honestly the Chieftain blew me away the first time I saw one perform. That friggin 120 mm gun was a killer! I watched a live fire exercise when I was in Germany. Also astetically I think the Chieftain turret is one of the cleanest and mean looking ever. When you see that turret swung out perpendicular to the chassis you see just how big that gun is. :clap: :thumbup: :clap:

Good Evening,
I'm going with the M48 or the M60 with that humongo Search Light on the mantlet. Those tanks are something I've wanted in RC for some time and I know that there is a Chinese manufacture 1/16 M-60 out there that is all metal but I'd have to sell something dear to afford it.
regards,
Painless Wolf

Damn forgot about the M60A2. I will have to split my vote although I am not too sure M60s quallify as cold/post war.

M60 all the way. I really would love a 1/16 full option with working suspension and correct hull. It looks like a tank should and the sound of the twin turbo v12 is amazing.

I will go along with the Centurian 10, how about the Swedish "S" tank? It was built solely for the cold war after all.
