Congratulations,[sm=thumbup.gif] very nice of your wife, I'd keep her around for awhile Sounds like your going to be a very busy guy, building your new tanks and paying her back.

Aslvrfrost98csvt

lol she says the tanks are theraputic for me building them helps me relax and relieves stress. as for paying her back the only thing she asked for is that she can battle with me . and find a black svt contour to compliment my silver one.(see pics)

Darn that thing got a loooong barrel!! sleek ...aerodynamic looking also...Hows she run?

Great looking tank! Just wait 'till you get the Sherman, it builds up real nice.

We must not forget to be nice to our wive's for letting us feel we're the "Ruler of the House"!

it runs great but it has the tiger sound all thats left is a little more weathering and camo netting on the barrel will add to the realism what i like is the barrel recoils back when you fire it .the tank itself jerks back just a little not bad at all and the tracks are hard rubber .and after 12 years together and being married for 7 of the 12 .not to mention everything she has had to deal with and take on since my accident i can defenatly say she rules the house.

You're certainly a lucky man.

Guys,

What scale is that T-72?

Aslvrfrost98csvt

1/24 scale

Cool i think for some reason the IR versions don't jerk back to bad they actually look good..on the other hand the airsoft for some reason fly back like you are going in reverse! One idea i had about the jerking back on the airsoft version is maybe put a small resister in line with the switch they use that the gun hits to activate the recoil action...maybe it will make the switch less of a short and just maybe the signal will get weaker and maybe the tanks electrics may get triggered as a softer back jerking moton due to a less of a short signal..

feel sorry for that poor T-72....with that Abrams there, it will never keep it's turret on

lol i was using the abrams as a size comparision . here are some pics after some weathering,camo netting and accessories .the last pics are before weathering for comparision.

Nice Tank from a generous and sweet wife! This forum is turning out to be a bad place for me because I see too many tanks and vehicles I want to buy.

Aslvrfrost98csvt

the tank runs great. now all i have to do is get the desert T-72 to battle my desert abrams .then i would have to also get the nato green amo abrams to battle the olive T-72

pcsguy88

Wow, I think driving the tank on the kitchen table while she is eating a salad is where my wife would draw the line.

Aslvrfrost98csvt
