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.
