hi all
        i know next to nothing about modern tanks, so this may sound a daft question, does anyone make a 1/16 chieftan?, or would it be possible to make one from one of the modern 1/16 offerings, i ask this because i like the chieftan and wouldnt mind a 1/16 rc model of one, as i used to have a little one that fired bullets when i was a nipper.

Hi Tony,

As yet nobody makes a 1:16 Chieftain, Centurion, or Challenger!!!!
A situation that is simply ridiculous.

Cheers
John

you got that right john, its a bummer no one makes them, i hope the powers that be are watching and reading, but i doubt they are

heng long are making a challenger 1/16 rc.
out 2009 sometime.

that sounds good, do you no how easy it would be to convert a challenger to a chieftan, as i said earlier, i know very little about modern tanks

the chassis and running gear wouldnt be a world away just the turret and superstructure would be fun due to the curved surfaces but not impossible

well if HL do bring a challenger out i will give it a go, i got a big hammer and i know loads of swear words, so its do-able , but wether we do see one next year is, i think doubtfull
