Germany actually built a Kugelpanzer ball tank, it is in Kubinka. A 'What if' though? Well Meng found a market with 'Toon Tanks' so who knows... this may be the start of something in a market not tapped.

I'm actually looking forward to this. For me stuff like this is a great break for laborious and detailed historical subjects. It's going to be a lot of fun to paint one of these! my2cents KC

Love to see how the actual one would roll without rolling on its sides(?) and burying those projecting gun barrels. Seriously? Someone thought that those feeble little wheels would hold it all up at speed? Optimism and reality were seldom so far apart. But a fun build anyways... now about building something that doesn't involve a T-54/55 variant, eh Miniart?

Nice, and in plastic and interior details. I'll be buying these for sure.

In theory it is feasible with a engine powerful enough, above a certain speed the vehicle would be stable without any risk of roll on side or stuff like that, using the gyroscopic effect, there are motorbikes that use the same principle, however claim that it works on the off-road is perhaps a bit too much ... the principle is the same as the F-104 Starfighter "with a powerful enough engine anything can fly" in this case "with a powerful enough engine anything can 'roll" .. ..I am always fascinated by projects that a mind "out of the box" can reach.
