Tamiya released a series of 1/16 scale RC tanks that had the ability to fit a sort of laser tag into the commander's hatch. The tanks "fired" beams at other tanks and the sensor would flash when it was hit.

That's fun.  My sons had something like that and the beacon was an IR sensor as they could 'shoot' at each other.  A hit would momentarily disable the tank.  Three hits I think was a kill and it would flash and spin around in circles

Thanks,

John

Yes very odd.When I got it was German grey and I masked off the beacon because I believe it is the R/C sensor.

Ah...that would make sense. Yes

The notion of a Tiger tank with a police beacon on top of the turret is just too weird... Wink
