Cool! Doesn't it seem a little large, however?

Post by **aferguson** » Sat Apr 02, 2005 8:27 pm

i asked for the dimensions. Hull is about 9 inches and it's about 5 inches wide. So a tiny bit big but still a small little tank, like it should be. I figured the chances of ever seeing another 1/18-ish FT17 are not good, so i went for it...

You got a great deal if it looks as good in real life as in the photos. I'm sure a lot of time went into making that vehicle.

Patton was the commander of the U.S. Tank Corps, which fought alonside British tanks in the battle of Cambrai.

I think he was a captain at that time.

He even got a Distinguished Service Medal for bravery in 1918.

Not a WWII armour buff,though that tank has some similarities to Bruitish tanks of WWII,maybe it`s based on British Armour??

Sorry l cannot be more precisie,though knowing some of the knowledge the guys here have,someone will know

it looks a little bit like a lot of different tanks but it's nothing specific. Someone's idea of a generic tank i guess.

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 12:23 pm

I agree with the generic tank design - a real one wouldn't leave the pipe features so exposed on the rear deck! Still, its a pretty cool piece and would look interesting in a diorama!

The real problem is the overlapping wheels. They need to go. Looks like it even has the 2 hatches, it's just that the turret is too tall.

I think it looks like a kaibash between the turrent that came with the Wittman fig from bbi and the chopperd body of a Tiger with Panther tracks and roadwheels. Just my observations.
