  1. Since you have some kind of relationship with TAKOM, please convey that they are missing the boat on their 1/72 Yamato turrets.
    They can get more mileage out of the turret tooling if they release turret specific interlocking bases (Especially turrets 1 and 2).
    Then also do the secondary guns in 1/72 as well with bases that interlock with the main turrets.
    Next thing you know, you've got the start of the whole superstructure in 1/72.
    In the end, a truly impressive display.

  2. That multi-tube rack next to the main gun is an ATWES Ant-Tank Weapon Signature Firing Device, its a multi-tube, electrically-fired device that initiates a small explosive device to simulate the main gun firing during war games. The tank-mounted component of the MILES Military Laser Engagement System.

  4. Another opportunity to ravage my wallet. But its ok. Life is a lije a box of chocolate. This is an amazing looking kit. Kit of the yrar…? It's got my vote. Also, I can see this as a diorama piece "The dipolomacy has fallen to the wayside in battles concerning the Ukraine – in 2027….. in the Kursk salient against the Russians….preparing to send rounds down range…" Oh, the possibilities. From the bottom of my fearless little heart… ThanksAndy!

  5. 1/16 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!…………… oh WOW and about time too………but i don't need that track because Heng Long already does it in plastic or metal….. or i can use my existing Tamiya track instead but this looks far better than the Tamiya 1/16 2A6……….much more detail and extra stuff on the turret……………you can probably convert this to full RC !!!!!!!!!!………..but you would need to attach this upper plastic chassis to the lower RC metal chassis, it would be an interesting project but only for the brave………… unfortunately the full metal lower chassis with 2 x 550 motors is around £550………… dear oh dear !!!!!!!!!!

  6. I can't wait to get this big cat! And I second the recommendation to have a set of Canadian decals. Sure, Canada hasn't bought these (yet) but a little black maple leaf goes a long way!
