I have a Pershing, bog standard apart from painting and adding boxes and bits. I have " Battles" with a neighbour who has a Panther. With the soft air cannons.As they aren't Masterpieces and the guns do relatively no damage it is an amuseing way of spending half an hour or so! Great fun!! Who says men grow up!!??

airwolf572010 · « **Reply #9 on:** November 26, 2010, 04:10:17 pm »

Sounds really good Nordsee I wish I had pleasant neighbours but alas no.. I just got in a Panther G and done it up with the rust effect. Looks good too. Only thing is its got anR2D2 on the top where the driver should be and just doesnt look right...
give me the old shootin pellets and paint bombs they look good on a hit. Havent tried R2D2 yet but suppose will do it Havent tried the IR yet and wont know how it works as none around here has one that I know of so if I get killed I wont know will I. Isnt the tank supposed to do funny things when its hit???
Cheers

Yes,

Here is the web site, Tokyo Hobbies in Japan:

http://www.tokyo-hobbies.com/sankyo.html

The T-74 can be electric or gas nitro engine powered.

They also do a King Tiger.

I got mine 2nd hand so I have been repairing, painting and and cleaning it.
It has a nitro O.S. FS (four stroke) engine fitted.

Here are 2 more pictures:

First hit it rattles and the R2D2 glows, Second hit is a "Kill" and everything stops for 20 seconds or so.

I took mine to pieces and sealed the casing with vasaline , water still gets in, but a lot slower ..

i lost the gunbarrel and the second smoke unit went boom and i lost tank guy and mg browning

but

my fellow members say its very good its got sand bags fire extingushers it was heavily painted sanded and then dry brushed with some watered down white spirit to take excess paint off

airwolf572010 · « **Reply #17 on:** February 08, 2011, 09:49:25 pm »

Hello fellow tankies well I havent been on the forum for a while so much has happened
I found out about that R2D2 and tks for how it works. gun barrel recoils light flashing etc not bad.
Since I spoke last have added a Tiger to the collection but have left it in an as is condition like it came out of the factory, plus have some figs and the good old leader of the third reich onboard. Idea is when you look at it, it's supposed to represent a fresh tank coming out of the factory and being presented to the german people by Herr Hitler. will post a pikke when I get new batteries for the camera, another I found when I went to take some pikkies for the forum.
Im also doing 2 Panzers of the earlier types one in Afrika Corps and 1 in Normal grey colours.
Just waiting for various crew figures to arrive and also some US Command Figures have been ordered and are also on the way.
These will be going into 2 Bulldogs 1 done in winter cammo and the other in Cammo used in Vietnam.
Tell you what I am having great trouble finding some Russian Crew members, anyone know of any place I can get them please.
Hope everyone is aok and yes I miss my Wuillie has anyone heard from him???
Chris

I have been playing with 1/6 scale tanks for about 6 years now.
Ive tried to "doit all myself" and with the cost of casting tracks and milling sprockets and road wheels for a Challenger 1i could have nearly bought another house !
I now stick with modified Mark 1 Tanks products. ( about half the price of doing it myself)

website if you are interested is http://www.mark-1-tank.co.uk/

its all good fun.

They do a metal barrel [not for BBs] and it doesnt recoil.

Hi Ben re your question on recoil barrel. I don't know if it would do the job but I bought the latest Heng Long Panther G and that has a recoiling barrel, perhaps you could use the basics and do a few mods on your Bulldog, Just a thought as they must have spare parts for the beastie and you could have a look at that barrel setup

airwolf572010 · « **Reply #24 on:** February 10, 2011, 01:21:10 am »

Sorry Ben I missed a bit out, that is the Henglong Ir Panther G they do have an airsoft also ok mate.
