Chang, as I said before, Mark has to have an example in UK to measure. There is, to my best knowledge, no F thing in UK, so no original for Mark to measure. That is a serious impediment.

Best regards.

If it 'has' to be in the U.K. I guess an Elefant is on the cards? Not sure why it has to be in the UK though, many cheap flights covering Europe just up the road in Bristol. And if I were a betting man I'd lay odds a Famo would out sell a Chieftan 5:1.

Hi Stephen and Simon,

Kevin Weatcroft has an "F".

His Panther Ausf A has been the raw model for the now in-coming Panther so there is a connection already established.

Kind regards

What types are these F Thing and F Word that are being brought up?

F thing and F word were errors when I originally wrote the post. It should have read Famo9 18 ton Half track but for some stupid reason my computer changed it.
Regards
Kevin.

The forum doesn't allow to write the word -FAMO without any other sign besides it; that's all.......


And well, a 1/4 scale model can weigh 500 kg or more, but also a 1/6 scale model cannot been carried by one person. And also a 1/4 scale King Tiger can bee carried by a rather small car, if the gun barrel is separable and the driver is passible......

Nice 1/4 scale KT but what worries me is how do you get it out of the estate? ramps would be substantial even if loaded on the roof. Van or trailer needed I think.
It's difficult with 1/6 as it is and it usually tries to kick the %%%% out of your nice estate even at 150kg.
As for the next 1/6 model, I like the T54/55 idea, but would buy a boat cum/tank so I could take it to model boat meets. Or take a leaf for uncle A's book, Think big.
