Id love to go in it... if only it was 1/32 I have next to nothing in terms of 1/18. I think I have 8 (???) figs lol. I am going to try and get others to set up a 1/32 or 1/35 contest Now we just need prizes...

Due to other commitments I have to cut back on what I'm entering, so it looks like the truck is going to get canned. I'm still in this thing, but it'll probably just be the field gun itself.........dammit!
"you get in a steep dive in this thing and you've got almost no maneuvarabilty at all. You couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the broad side of another barn"
G'day KAMIKAZE
As this is not strictly an original idea in that “Gunner” posted a simular customisation over in the “Buy, Sell, & Trade Forum”, I was wondering if my m247/M40A1 106mm recoilless conversion would still be eligible for this contest as I have expanded considerably upon both "Gunner's" original concept and that of the model kit used as a basis for this project?

Sorry Moth, Technically this thing is classified as a main battle tank although I would consider it more of a tank destroyer than a tank. After researching this thing I am amazed they built such a mechanically complicated tank. I really wrestled with this question as technically a tank is a mobile anti-tank gun, but I felt I had to draw the line somewhere. How about making a Sargent York AA gun, an M-42 Duster, Kubelblitz, or Hummel. Hope this doesn't ruin your day man.

I'm a legend in my own mind.
No, no problem, I havent started anything yet.
It is a cool little thing, I love how it looks like, and the fact that one person can operate the thing. Here are some videos of it,
