Re: Real or fake
Whilst we are on the subject of KT's firing, if you have a firearms licence and a private range the Armortek KT is a fantastic platform for a simulated 88mm cannon, this video is as close as we can get to the real thing, please do not try this at home!

Re: Real or fake
Hello Phil,
thats interesting to see and very impressive. A lot more smoke, wow
But pretty obvious nothing for the public
I tried to get the smoke of the engine smokers transfered to the barrel but with no success, so the option with the cig was born
Best regards,
Uwe

Re: Real or fake
Uwe, your creation is just brilliant, one of the best I have seen and especially effective in half light, and totally legal!

Re: Real or fake
Cheers Dunc, it was quite scary making the VT, anything that is radio controlled and has a live firing content even blanks keeps the mind focused somewhat!

Re: Real or fake
Something I stumbled across on the tube, it's a mix of old film, video made to look old and VT of 1/6th models.....nice, some double take moments which make you look again and again.

And a few of my maybe unseen period photos to peruse.

Re: Real or fake
It's from Modelcollect's 'Fist of War' fanciful 1946 range. They have done a number of 'paper panzers' and then let their imagination run riot with walker tanks etc. (All in 1/72). I have the 1/72 version of the P1000 'Ratte' sitting in a rather large box waiting to be built and I will probably add this cut down K5E on two E75 chassis as it appeals to me
