Military sales show room ?

Hi all i had an idea what if you could go to the high street and buy a tank or I.C.B.M.just like you could a car so, i decided to make that a possibility. So you can now pop down the high street and pick up your chosen military vehicle complete with ammo or whatever you fancy.
I don't think its so far fetched either
so there it is it does light up but will have to wait till later as it dosnt show up in the daylight on the photos.
so what do you all think.

Being a pragmatic guy I'd pick the DUKW but I see girls only like guys who have big guns.
Nice job. :)

Hmm ... I dunno, the neighbourhood will get a bit noisier
Obviously that tank in the middle is for the kiddy Warlords, can't see an adult cramming into that one

That tank in the middle is the PzKfw 35(t) , a mainstay of several Panzer Divisions at the beginning of WWII. It really isn't that small,it's that the Tiger and the DUWK are really big. It had a 4-man crew,not to say it was roomy inside,though.

Spoken by a man who knows his tanks I must admit when the other models came I could not believe they were the same scale the Tiger must have been huge I mean the DUKW's were big and the Tiger is nearly as big (mind you what I know about tanks you could write on a postage stamp) the Tiger was my first tank.

Splendid concept, and the attention to detail is really winning. I will say the scale of the figures seems a bit off, but it really doesn't hurt the effect.

Yes the figures are off scale but I had them in the spare parts draw and thought I would sneak them in you are obviously too eagle eyed. Drat foiled again.

What's the Tiger's safety rating? Any options available?

Don't know about the UK but they only do that for new vehicles here in Aus & they all look a little 2nd hand, to me.

No they don't do safety ratings over here, but any car or truck in a would almost certainly be a write off in an accident with these tanks and there is pretty much nothing that could hurt you in one (unless of course you met another customer of mine)
