Challenger 2 Tank

My first true radio controlled model build.

After lots of hints from B-I-L John, I finally decided to build a proper radio controlled model. The first one is a one sixteenth scale model of the Challenger Tank. This photo shows it about 3/4s built, with lots of small fiddly bits still to fit.

The ruler shows the rough size of the model and the controller is just visible under the glass work bench, right at the front of the model.

Once complete it should be very impressive, as the gun fires BBs with a range of 25 to 30 metres. The engine makes a huge noise and chucks lots of smoke out of the exhaust! Once it is complete I will post videos of the test runs, so watch this space.
