Krazy Koncept
I
think the German Grasshopper tank has to be the craziest idea for a tank ever, it had a jib on the back to remove the turret and emplace it in a fixed position, I mean what was the point of a tank making its gun immobile.
you are left with a useless tank hull & an immobile gun. Why ?
Gotter.[%-)]
Wow! Demono, that’s is mean looking!
yay, Cap’n !
i’d have 2 say that the Mantis is rite up there in the strange sweepstakes…
1 day when my skills r good enough, i’m thinking of doing one based on the airfix universal carrier in braille scale, just because…it’s too weird not to !
thanx for the piccy !
frosty[:)]
now ur kidding, rite ?
LOL, it’s the total minimalist tank…
anyone 4 a group build on this puppy ?
frosty[:)]
Sounds good Frosty! But… Darn! I just tossed out a perfectly good shoe box, so I guess I’m out!
Ron.
Ron P. :
hey, don’t let that stop u…
i’ll b happy to raid mom’s closet & find a nice shoe box 4 ya !
always glad 2 help out another modeler…
now all we need is 4 osprey 2 put out the book, or domi to upload some scale drawings & we’re good 2 go !!
frosty[:)]
Those would be hard to find, Frosty… Quite a challenge you know! No way I’m starting that without the Osprey book and a ‘walk-around’ from Squadron publication. And the Lock-on from Verlinden. You can never have too much info! That turret looks very complicated too…
Here’s my virtual model. [;)]

looks like you’re short a few rivets on the armor plating, David. Next time, make sure to check your research a bit more carefully.[:D]
The kit was lacking in detail. Not much I could do with it straight OOB.
Needs a wash ansd a bit of drybrushing to get the details popping out a bit more, I’d say, Dave…
OOB? It is the box!
weelllllllllll golly gee, that tsar tank is just only a little conspicuous-i would like to see what would happen if the whites had used one in the revolution…
that thing is undoughtedly strange, just look at the size of it. I guess if it ever saw action it was just used for intimidating purposes. he he[:)]
