Yeah right.

April fools! [:p]

Darn…I was hoping Trumpeter would come out with a fully functional 1/16 scale Dora railgun. I have some annoying neighbors…[}:)]

3

you can set it up easily enough, just have it firing CO2 cartridges [:D]

4

Boy! I got tricked for the second time today. You should have seen my excited face when I saw this title, Larry. Anyway, it’s not hurt to put it in out wishing list[:D].

Now, if it had been a Dragon 1/35 3-in-1 M3/M3A1/M3 75mm GMC Half-track, I would be [BH]

Yeah! I have some annoying dogs next door.

Personally, I would have believed you, considering that they came out with the T-34. Good laugh though. [^]

you are a cruel, cruel man

Actually if I remenber it right, many years ago in a FSM issue, it showed a guy built a large scale (1/6?) R/C Jagpanther. He even mounted a shortgun inside the 75 mm gun barrel. For sure it is a great thing for home defence[:D]

11

there’s whole clubs that hold competitions, shooting out between large scale RC models of tanks and spg’s armed with paintball guns. i’d love to do something like that. except i’d probably get kicked out for up-gunning mine to an AP paintball gun [:D]

I think I still have that issue with the Jagdpanther. There is a link on the web to a scratchbuilt Dora. It is an amazing model.

13

[:D] now thats just mean[:(][:D]

14

I think you guys all realized it was an April Fools, right? I mean, a Maus in 1/16th would be the size of a Mazda Protege.

What, you don’t have a two-car garage? [(-D]

Y’know, the scary part is, I meant it as a silly AFD joke but when I got to thinking about it, I don’t put it past them.

19

Great AFD gag. Larry!
Coincidently, there’s a guy here in Osaka who has been working on a 1/16 RC Maus for over a year now. It’s a big one, for sure!
And I think I saw somewhere a 1/6 Maus with GI Joes crawling all over it.

oooo… that would be really cool ya know…
pow! explode!

in the news the next day:
A person in a certain neighborhood as blown up somebody’s house with an unidentifiable gun type thingy (you can tell the guy on the news isn’t educated in WWII stuff) that launches exploding bullet type thingy the size of _______.
