It probably WAS from Flash Gordon.

Nice find.

Definitely one of the cooler inter-war designs IMHO. When Lead Warrior announced this in March, a lot of people drooled over it...pricey resin but still cool. Smile

That look different, and nice.

Is it me, or does that turret look similar to the Soviet post war BDRM's. Not that i am suggesting the Russians would copy anything German of course.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

now that I am looking at the pics for about the 10th time, I think it looks like an 8 wheeled Audi TT.....with a turret?

I remember reading about those machines. They steered with the two front and two rear wheels and were supposed to be pretty good at cross country travel for the time. I believe they based their eight wheeled Rad 232 and such on them.

Hi, Bill certainly looks like a TT with teeth, but could also pass for something from a Gerry Anderson series.

Well let me be the first to ask,

Are you gonna build one from scratch?

Hope your keeping well,

Tery.
