FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS??? Are you freaking kidding me???

At the very least, It better shoot 45 cal. live rounds. And I should be able to input my least favorite ex-wife's coordinates into the guidance system for complete destruction. (to make it worth the money)

Great googah-mooga fred....

Tread.

Just a thought kglack, to increase the 'entertainment' value.....incorporate one of those new-fangled 'smart' rounds where you can follow along it's flight path with a camera!!
(just for the record, the preceding statement was said by the evil Tread! )

I just got a 1/8 Panther from Mark-1-Tanks. I recommend him highly. Always quick to respond to E-mail questions no matter how dumb. Yes they're expensive, but tanks are supposed to be BIG. 1/16 th just dosent cut it. I have the 1/16th sherman also. Check the Mark-1 forums, I believe theres a post on the 1/8 metal Abrams. I think there were alot of problems with it.
