And the Object 279 comes with a rather cool figure in NBC garb!

Combine the NBC garbed soldier with the 'iron mask' from the French tanker in the St. Chamond kit.  ;D

Build review of Takom's Object 279 - just click on image below to go to it.



Still think it would look appropriate as some sort of Sci-fi vehicle.

Other pics I've seen of this tank gave the impression that it was quite a large one.  Seeing the figure beside it, it doesn't look that big at all ---

I was thinking as I was reading the review, I'd have hated trying to fix a broken track or damaged roadwheel on the inner runs.

I agree it would have been a bitch, but probably something able to be avoided in contact provided both on one side didn't go.  I have the similar thought whenever I see one of these on the road:



Mind you, as a whiff, I wonder how one would go replacing the twin tracks with a single wide track?

Ditch the turret, sand down & fill the turret ring, add a few greeblies over it, too, & scale-o-rama it to either 1/72nd or 1/144th, with the drivers periscopes acting as command/control centre view-ports.

You now have a very big sci-fi exploration (or similar) vehicle. 8)

That Objekt 279 would be ideal to be battling with the AMT Gigantic insects (arachnids). As Homer Simpson has pointed out, radiation makes things bigger.

You already have to be a midget to be the driver in a Leopard 1.  Can't be over 5'8" and I'm that height and found it rather cramped when I tried it out.

Interesting you should mention that, a mate of mine from my old unit was a Leopard driver and he was 5'11" or slightly taller (I'm 5'10" and he is taller than me) but he was thin as a rake.  I was just looking at the amount of space the 120mm breach took up in the turret.

I've given up on independent armoured ops in Australia, governments think its costs too much so don't buy enough gear to ever do it. :icon_sueno:

Never-the-less, the 120mm upgrade was a real proposition for Leo 1s (not necessarily the ARA ones).

I had to scrunch my head down (sans helmet) when I sat in the seat and I lowered it as much as possible.  With a helmet it wouldn't have been comfortable for long periods.

True.  We do have ideal country for it though.  The Cav. Rgts could do it, if they were allowed to.
