I think it was from a bag of Sauerbraten-flavored snack chips. :wink:

it’s the same picture

What they want to show is that the tracks make it possible to climb steep and/or muddy terrein without plouging into it with the front axle . That the world needs to be turned upside down to achieve this emphasis, wouldn’t be my call, but hey;-)

He is, or is it not a question you maybe post

Copyright issues, probably, wouldn’t know type of track rollers either, as Fury looks to be a M4a3

One of these days I’m going to convert my USS Nimitz into a version where she didn’t come forward in time again, with 5" AA guns and a mixed deck load of 1980s and 1940s USN aircraft.

I don’t understand what the fuss about the box art is. Looks normal to me. Pretty much on par with what I usually see.

If you’re building sci-fi and fantasy that is. :rofl:

What a great thread!

Border Models obviously has an axe to grind … with everyone.

Ohh and some big funnels for the steam turbine engines they had to put in when the enriched uranium fuel reached end of life and they didn’t have any to replace it with yet!

Do you think they wouldn’t figure out how to make enriched uranium a lot sooner if they had a sample of it? I’d like to think that our nuclear program would have taken a giant leap forward with that ship available. I also think that our computers would have taken a huge leap forward.

From our perspective you would think it would advance things but the technology gap is just so great there would be little they could do with much of it for a long time. Even transistors were a couple of years in the future so microchips may as well be from some alien race as far as they would be concerned. The specialist personnel would be more valuable then having samples of the hardware.
