Not the right audience here

Call me weird if you want, but I think 'regular' tanks look pretty cute! These look dang ugly to me!!

OK, they ARE cute. In the same way I consider a Jagdpanther to be highly aerodynamic.

No child at home or among the family ?
Two Meng Egg-shermans were built by my sons ... can you imagine these little devils an hour away from the ***** ipad ?? yes, with dedicated patience (;) it works !

Oh I'm sure they work for some. I've just been looking at the real things, or pictures of them, for so many years that my AMS can't get past the distortions! (I hate big-headed bobble-heads too, even they they are Star Wars!) But I still wish Meng every success with kids and toon/anime lovers, don't get me wrong!

Do they have little wheels underneath so you can run them along the floor?

I love how they market these and the media in the U.S. thinks old "Roadrunner" cartoons are too violent for the precious snowflakes...

Once upon a time, there was a market for offbeat, oddly proprtioned subjects. It will always be. Let it roll:

These look cool . I've already got a AFV Club "cute 'standard turret KV II , now I can get a little weirder big turret version from Meng . And a Tiger II

Thanks for the post Steven,even if it makes me fell
a little old.

Swine Hunt, that memory is so old it has dust on it. I built it and most of Revell's distorted models way way way back in the day. I'm almost tempted to find one on ebay just for the sake of those memories.

I love the look of that Porsche King Tiger. So when are they doing the figures to go with it?

Not Meng's. The Tiger I and Sherman I've seen have its roadwheels roll much like the old Tamiyas with polycaps.

I was being facetious, but I do remember some obscure company ('60's or '70's ?) making 1/72-ish vehicles with solid tracks and roadwheels with little wheels underneath so you could roll them along the floor. Maybe that was Roco.

Meng's eggy ZTZ-99, aka New Chinese MBT, has little wheels to roll along the table top (not floor... that would be silly). They came in handy when painting the tracks as the model could be put down without the wet paint touching down. I took them off though in the end because they prevented the tracks from making contact with the base I mounted it on - which would have been most unrealistic.

Actually in my stash I have two old Lindburg kits copyright 1975 that have the rubberband motors and wheels. A Centurion and an M-46. I bought them in a box of kits at a yard sale years ago. Wayne
