I have thought about that too,it should work,the props on xd planes certainly spin well in the wind.I just wonder how long it would last in the elements,the plastic would probably break down and crumble,especially here in NZ near the hole in the ozone layer,we have not a lot of protection from the s...

Also Spudkopf (a b...

I had a look and a play with one of these,was quite impressed,and the price is right too;ordered one already.I'm mostly into 1/16th tanks anyway and all the 1/18th stuff I buy is the 'compromise' part for me,but it's all near enough,rather than not have a lot of available models if I stuck to 1/16th...

Thanks for the heads up Flayrah,I am the lead bidder,I have asked the seller to remove my bid and list the measurements from ground level to the top of the cab;where would I be without this board?Probably the unhappy owner of a grossly undersized model! I'll post the measurements when I get them.

I haven't heard any complaints from the 1/16th RC tank community,something like it being out of scale (1/16th) would usually be picked up on straight away.

for our American (and other) friends.Hey,you could do some interesting dios with the smurfs being subjugated/occupied by the nazis;loading the smurfs onto railcars,smurf resistance fighters etc.I'd sure like to see that!

If you dont mind somewhat limited poseability ,then dragon figures are well worth having,and very realistic IMHO. In many cases,21st figs' realism is compromised in the waist area in order to afford posability.
I like em both anyway.
