Re: New to the place [TANKS]

[Derek Engelhaupt <derekengelhaupt-at-rocketmail.com>]

To my knowledge, there is no place that has just a hull for a 1/6 scale Abrams.  In fact, there is no place I know that has a stock 1/6 Abrams for sale and if they did the cost would be in the $6000-7000 range.  Most for sale are 1/8 scale.  A 1/6 scale Abrams hull is about 55" long *if* I remember correctly.  Made out of steel, that would weigh A LOT.  Maybe Tying Tech would be willing to build the hull for you...but it would be out of wood.  Steve? :)
