New M26 Pershing

[Meter rat]

My former colleagues, in the kitchen, and two of the residents bought me a retirement present.
The new Heavey Armor, Land Tiger, M26. Fully detailed, complete with infantry support.

Turning it into an RC tank should be fun . Nice friction motor.

I need a few books now to check how accurate it is. A the very least it will need a repaint to get rid of the plastic look. Headlights are a bit high.

I think it was really lovely of them, and it is fully appreciated.

That really needs a cheap RC car underneath to take to the shows!

It's pretty clear evidence that your colleagues like you! Bravo to you and a tip of the hat to them.
I think you should leave it in as-packaged condition. Then if anyone questions your skills, you can explain, "this is how the tanks start out."
In fact, I'd bet you don't have any other tanks with bird-dropping camouflage, eh?

What a great gift and I think they knew exactly what they were doing!

And I really like that first guy running into battle with his flyrod holder!

Good Morning!
Locate the correct sized plastic Shot and it in combination with that manual Main Gun recoil will leave no ankle safe!
regards and be Safe!

3+ Is waaaaaay above my maturity. An as you say, they knew exactly what they were doing. I’m looking at it now, smiling.
