Re: RE: Gray area for anyone [TANKS]

["Peter Arundel" <pureteenlard-at-hotmail.com>]

I'm with Mr. Tyng on this one. It should be about fun not perfect scale 
modelling. Stand-off scale as the model aircraft fraternity refer to it.

I'm planning on building my tank using as many commercially available parts 
as possible. Wheels, suspension etc will be built using the avaliable bits 
which are closest to the right size rather than me building bits exactly to 
the right scale.

Pete.
