They even borrowed a Swedish Strv. 103 for trials, but decided against it as it didn't fit their armoured doctrine or needs.

Might be better to skip the missile/rocket completely and mount a bulldozer blade kit to create a more compact combat earth mover.

Another model inspired by World of Tanks! ::)

Still, if you could pull all of the multi-turret designs into a single diorama it'd be a great piece of Diesel Punk! ;D

I can but hope that Takom will continue its occasional series of 1/72 scale kits and produce the O-I in that scale as well.

Looks like a M48 trio coming soon with the Sgt York DIVADS, a Vietnam era Patton, and what might be an IDF Patton.

I was on the range at Ft. Hunter-Ligget when the Sgt. York was being tested. We were controlling the aircraft the unit was supposed to be tracking. What a turd wagon! Most of the time it just sat there while aircraft flew all around it. Only good part was the Apache helicopters hiding behind the hill we were on and popping up over us. That thing couldn’t find an aircraft if you parked it right in front of it.

It might be interesting to do an operational version of the M247 that did work.  Perhaps even later modified to add missiles as well, perhaps akin to what has been done with some Gepards (though obviously a different fit needed).



Perhaps something like this on the roof:



or even just the M6 Linebacker style box:

I've been thinking of a Sgt York turret on a different hull for years but will probably not get around to it.
Unfortunately Takom models are far too complicated for my patience these days.

Did Academy do any changes to the Tamiya moulds (I know they did on other molds like the Sheridan).

Ebay lists the Tamiya kit at anywhere between US$68 & US$580  :o

Yes.

I've never really understood why the Americans had so much trouble with the radar, both search & tracking, when other nations didn't. ???
