                        And would those be diesel or gas motors??

                        Those are some bht's (big honkin' tanks!) You could put one in the back yard and use it as statuary, I guess.

                        My hobby shop had a flier from one of their distributors the other week...pre-order for around $800 I thnk it was. I don't know (think) if that included any motors, r/c gear. I'd be surprised.

                        Nice to dream about but I'm not parking my car outside!!! Big Smile [:D]

                        if they go to 1/1 (LOL) it will be cheaper to scratchbuild. everyone has scrap plywood lying around. and no panzerwerk probably didn't spend a SMALL fortune, probably a LARGE one!!! (LOL)

                        I don't mind how big they get as long as they don't come out with 2/1 (LOL LOL)

                        According to the option list they can fire 9mm blanks,
                        they drive, the turret traverses, and the gun elevates.

                        As for home defense i'll stick with the Mossberg 590.

                        you could try to make a go cart out of it, that'd be interesting?

                        Actually, I think these big kits are designed to be motorized, and even are supplied with motors for both driving and turret traverse. I would imagine that the Tamiya kits with all their high-tech doodads are the ultimate in realism though. And frankly, someone with a 1/15th scale Tamiya Pershing (that's the one I'd really love) is a little eccentric, a true enthusiast. Someone with a 1/6th scale Maus has issues. Unless you put it to practical use, of course, like driving it down to the supermarket to get the groceries. Tongue [:P]

                        I won the Tamiya Tiger I and I haven't gotten around to building it yet because of that very reason. No place to keep it once it's completed.

                        where on earth would you keep such a monster when you had built it??
                        i think part of the reason i build 1:35th is the space iv'e got to keep them in after they are finished...but a 1:6th scale tiger in my living room??? hmmmmm.
