I guess that with the 6 sets of twin wheels per side a Panzer III is the nearest thing.... But the body needs a considerable amount of shall we say 'Modification' ...To make it look like a Panzer

Nothing else to say Dietrich... that is so very cool...what makes it more fun is that it has cameras ...the thing that gets me is the age requirement lol...as I am much older... But I wouldn't tell if no one else did .................

HAVE AN OUTSTANDING NEW YEAR

Hi ALPHA,
............I think that you will find that it is a MINIMUM age requirement.... NOT a MAXIMUM Limit... .....
.
My Physical age is much older as well... but my 'Mental' age probably ONLY entitles me to operate the One-Man tank....... and I think that YOURS might also only allow you to operate the same One-Man tank ...... .........
.
My wife says that I act like a 12 year old boy at times............

Dietrich
Mine says at times I act like a 5 year old, So I won't be getting one for a few years.

Only one question: How much?!!!

Well... I just broke up with my gal... who thought my tanking was cute ... also saying that when I spoke of them it seemed that I was a kid again... no specific age... but I would guess I would qualify...so long I could fit into that hatch that is .............

Hi Nick,
..........Looks like Gareth got the hang of steering pretty quickly .... Its VERY responsive.....but I think that the lower Bogie wheels are actually Rigid rather than any form of suspension...
