Hey folks,
A unique opportunity to acquire and absolute monster of a model.
This a scratch built A39 tortoise self propelled gun, built by the British towards the end of world war 2 to breach the heavy German fortifications.
It's scratch built using Sherman suspension components and king tiger tracks which are pretty much spot on to the real ones. It uses a custom henntec track tensioner and has a base for a double differential type gearbox (not included). This is a lot more robust than the 3D printer rubbish by a certain Chinese seller, and ran really really well in the past.
It's setup with servo recoil, elevation and traverse ready for you to add your chosen of electrics.
Features some wonderfully 3d printed details ready for a prospective buyer to finish and paint.
I'm after £500 as it stands
Collection from Salford and world wide shipping are available
