Gazzabruv105 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Me and Speed Turd are planning to do exactly that next weekend xD Got a great war game for and Speed Turd to play this weekend AJ. Convert your tanks to fire metal ball bearings, then when you control them, each person controlling their tank has to walk directly behind their own tank in just their underpants and the aim of the game is to fire at the opposing tanks operator until one surrenders. Lol. There must be no head shots though as that could be dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You can get some allied tanks.... Heng Long do a Sherman and a KV1. The 'Snow Leopard' is actually the M26 Pershing as well. Chronic lack of British armour there. Couple of companies used to do T34's .... but don;t think there are any current ones at the affordable end. Forget Italian tanks They were poorly armed, poorly armoured and of little real use in combat. Even the Italian Army didn't want the ones it had. Putting on my Tank Buff anorak ..... the 3 rods in the centre of the tow rope... These were the cleaning rods for the Tiger II's 88mm L71 gun. They should be metal not wood. Early war tanks used a metal rod, but later war, they were metal. Especially when you get the longer barreled weapons like this one. It's unbelievably sad that I should know this or even care I quite fancy the tiger 'pro' with the metal tracks. Outdoor use will result in broken track links with the plastic ones from what I have been told. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nitroholic Posted November 7, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2012 King Tiger IS the Tiger II .... though all these names are unofficial.. officially it was the Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B ... or for official designation Sdkfz182 That translates as Tiger Tank model B .... The reference pic there is strictly speaking, wrong Parts like that seldom survive and often get reconstructed. Then they paint them up... For some reason, also, this one has a Zimmerit coating on the hull. German tanks in production had dispensed with this by September 1944, and field application was stopped in October 44. Basically...it's a cement coating designed to prevent magnetic mines being attached to the hull...but the Wermacht realised by this time that the only army making regular use of these mines was them...so it was pointless! Most Tiger B's wouldn;t have got it...only the early production models That tank is the one at Bovington.... 104 served with SS Schwere Panzerabteilung 501 in France and was abandoned by it's crew in '44. Don't know if that one IS 104, or just painted with those Id numbers. Paint is wrong for the pics I have of the tank, and it didn;t finish the war with zimmerit either.... Like the 'ambush' scheme on the Jagdpanther in the background er...did I mention I was a bit interested in WW2 armour ..... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
