Hallo Jeff, There is a lady from southern England who has been running a build on a large scale r/c WW1 Tank on this Forum, if you scroll back through the builds you will find it. It makes very interesting reading, but as to getting a large model + toy company to invest in such a project it seems unlikely, I reckon this will always be in the realm of the scratchbuilder, Pity because there were some strange and wonderful devises both built and planned during that awful war. :thumbup: shaun

There is always the Armortek Mk IV if you have 6 grand spare.

Hi Jeff , There is also this - http://www.djparkins.com/acatalog/1_15th_Vehicles.html - although when I recently enquired about it , David said it is still only a work-in-progress , no release date yet . Pity . ( 2016 maybe ? )
