Russian hover tanks

[Mr Evil]

ok so its ;late 40's / early 50s

but tis fun

o yes it doese have tracks

LOL, strangely enough it looks familiar...

You sure know where to find your russian stuff :lol:

 

[Mr Evil]

idea was the uplift would make the tank lighter, so you could travers faster over marsh and such and evan open water.

with modern armour technology making armour lighter, i can see some old russian designs getting the future treatment.

I know what hover tech was for, it reminds me of something I saw once somewhere though...

And they both blow up pretty nicely...

 

[DM]

Isn't that what a hover tank is supposed to do?

 

[Hiromoon]

Blow up? Probably....

 

[Mr Evil]

and blow down, if you reverse the thrust you can cover your vehicle in the folagve from underneith and dust/snow. all very clever.

The tank from Terrahawks?

It most certainly did. Mind you, having Windsor Davis in the cast helped

What was quite sad was that one of my mates at school was the spitting image of Young Star - poor sod!

Can't see photos in first few posts - Bummer!

Great photo in your signature. How did you make / where did you get the buildings in the background?

 

[dsfrankevo]

Shot it w/ my Sony DSC-W30 Cybershot digital camera

I set the camera on the table, maxed the optical zoom - angeled it up a touch - then cropped and resized it in Photoshop

The figs are Devil Dog Design 28mm USMC & Rangers

The tank is a Kitech 1/48 scale M1 - not a great model but retails for about $10 all over e-bay

The buildings are a K-Line O gauge pharmacy converted to a Mosque on the right and a Plasticville O gauge apartment building on the left

Thanks for the kind words - I thought it came out pretty cool!
