Fringe benefits of being single [8D]! I believe that when the tank was first created the designation was tank destroyer, but changed to GMC (gun motor carriage). Due to time and budget restraints the model was left static however; I built in features so the tank can be made rc in the future. Most of my 1/6th models are static, but I do have a handful of 1/6th scale rc tanks. You can see more of my static and RC models from my 1/6th garage from the links below.
I’m also working on an RC M5 Stuart from the U. Soldier. The tank out of the box is based on the old M5A1 kit from tamiya. But with a little elbow grease the tank can be turned into a nice piece.
Man, I’m completely, totally impressed! There are armor “nuts” and then there are true master-fanatics like you![bow] I only hope that you’ll be writing this project up for a FineScale article! It’d be nice to see it in print, being such a diverse subject, and so masterfully executed–truly an OUTSTANDING JOB!
AN–the other models are looking pretty sweet too! I love that Hetzer/Pz IV thing siting next to it! Your work oughta be in a magazine, somewhere!
Dude, I said this to you at mosquitocon, and ill say it again… you are farking nuts man! Those pics dont do justice to seeing that monster in person. For all our sakes, I hope you get a job somewhere that doesnt let you build these and put us 1/35thers to shame. I spent a good bit of time checking your piece out, dunno if you noticed me or not, im about your age or so, long curly hair, glasses.
In response to the earlier stuff about this being an assault gun or a tank; its mission profile fits in with an assault gun. It was meant to be used to breach bunkers and defences in Japan, similar to German guns.
I to saw this at Knox, man, was that mind blowing! IT WAS ENORMOUS!
'nother question, whats the German tank that is on the trolley next to the T28 on the pic above, it doesn’t quite look like a normal KT.
Thanks guys for all of the compliments, Mosquitocon was a lot of fun I had a blast displaying the model and answering all of your questions. The tank sitting next to the t-28 is the Porsche VK4502 king tiger prototype. That model was built before the T-28
Hi guys, I took a short break during the memorial day weekend from working on the Jag to take some pictures of the T28. I wanted to recreate a few images that I have of the actual T28. I have posted the rest of the images on my website. Enjoy.
