Ferrari F-50 1/18 die cast in Ferrari yellow.
Not all Ferraris look good in this colour, but the F-50 sure does.

Just to give the thread a bump. Cleaning up and tamping the field soil from the winter and April rain destruction with a PZIV as a prop
Another Italian campaign panzer? Interesting, but there are no side Schürzen on the wheels. Is this a 26.PD PzIV?Just to give the thread a bump. Cleaning up and tamping the field soil from the winter and April rain destruction with a PZIV as a prop
Missing Lynx had some nice photos of the 16.PD PzIV in Italy. One with a puppy mascot.

I don't put schurzen on the RC tanks generally as just like on the real thing battling them outside just leads to it being ripped off. Only exception is my JPIV/70 as the hooks would get ripped off without the schurzen on
Have you ever made one of those curved Krummlauf close-quarter defensive guns for your tanks?
Thanks!

Would be a unique scratch build and also way beyond my limited abilities. Not sure if I've ever seen anyone do it on RC tanks. I'm sure it's been done by 1/35 scale static modellers. I'm sure Shapeways or somebody like that probably has a 3D printed version one. You can pretty well get anything now with 3D printingHave you ever made one of those curved Krummlauf close-quarter defensive guns for your tanks?
Thanks!
A friend did it on his 1:48 scale JgPzIV (Vomag). Your JgPz reminded me of it. I think he had it set in a Seelow Heights scenario.
Static model. Not RC.
Couple of 1/24 scale racers. The Ferrari was a model I did build. Porsche is a standard die cast.
A true V8 RC model car in the making.....
Oh Man! That is super bitchin'.A true V8 RC model car in the making.....
Thanks for the link!
Getting close to finishing the 37 Ford truck and next in line is a Saturn V. Probably 1962 my mom let join a subscription model for the space program. I built starting with Mercury through Apollo. It was a lot of fun for a kid who was hard into planes and space. Learned more through that than in school.
Also Hobby Lobby has models for 40% off.
Here's the 37

Forgot to mention that his models are on display @ The Peterson car museum.My SO collects diecast, plastic, metal, and promos, many of which were lost in a tornado that destroyed our storage. We still have a house full of survivors.
My older bro entered the Fisher Body Craftsman Guild builder competition several times 60-odd years ago, screenshot of one of his entries, 1963, casting the windows was a RPITA bitch;

Another bump. One of the guys in the club did a monochrome shot of one of my Tigers out on the field. I've always liked them because 99.9% of real WW2 shots are black and white
Very nice! Is it missing one road wheel? Bazooka knocked it out?

The maintenance crews used to remove the outer front bogie on the early Tiger 1's in the northern Russian front as they would clog up with mud between it and the drive sprocket making it a maintenance nightmare especially when it froze overnight. They found it was also unnecessary as far as the weight bearing was concerned. When I rebuilt the Tamiya a guy on a tank modeling forum had pointed out that Tamiya had provided the extended hub on the sprues but the instructions had it as parts you didn't use in the build but worked perfectly in assembling the front wheel so it makes it even more authentic looking
