When I first found this picture of this model....I knew I just had to build one
Said to myself...Self...why waste money on a 1/35th scale model when you can get a 1/24th and have it run
Hopefully it will be simple enough lol

The tank is apparently a paper Panzer (Ficticious) so details will be hard to come by

Two more images

Sorry Peeps....haven't even taken this apart yet

....I don't know when the last time any of you have played with one of these 1/24ths....but it's one heck of a fun time....I don't know why HL powered these with a 9.6...but man...is this tank FAST!!!!!!!!!!

...to top that off...it has BOOST

...

...been playing with it for the last 24 hrs...and I'm not tired of it yet...even though it's the ABC type

Re: Winter Camo pattern on tank 2 (No 203..), it's clearly an abstract barcode design used for fighting in Costco, or in a landscape packed with fence posts..or zebras. The objective is not to conceal the tank, but rather to confuse the enemy...then to induce crippling laughter in their ranks..

Ever noticed the chinese never let their tanks be photographed dirty. Always nice and polished.
