Don't know which type of tank though, probably something made in Switzerland
Heavy industry ?

Warning! ... Do not try this at home with Styrene! Lol!

Exactly ! "A glowing hot Swiss Army Panzer 68 hull being heat treated in an oil bath, at an Eidgenoessische Konstruktionswerkstaette facility in Thun, Switzerland, 1977"

Holy hell! That's an incredible pic! Love to see some pics of M60 hulls being built or cast or however they pieced them together.

A guy working in a local hobby shop once told me about a mistake he had made:
He had attached a Tiger tank (don't remember if it was Tiger I or II) to a diorama base. Don't remember if it was slow drying glue or something else that was slow drying but he had the "brilliant" idea of using the oven, set at a low temperature like 50 degrees Centigrade (122 Fahrenheit), to speed up the drying.
Guess what?
The temperature softened the styrene just enough to allow the tensions from the molding process to be let loose.
What he extracted from that oven looked like some kind of modern art or Salvador Dali version of a Tiger but it sure didn't look much like a Tiger .....

If we had that mysterious Panzer 68 kit from that mysterious Japanese company announdced some years ago, we could build an exciting diorama.

P.S- Why did no color maker (Ammo of MIG, Wilder etc.)makes a set of different colors of heat threatened steel?

Because violet, blue, straw yellow, and gray paints are already available?

Nah, couldn't be. Simple facts like that never stopped them before.

That is a very cool picture. Blacksmithing is one of my hobbies so this picture really caught my attention. That is an awesome heat treatment process they are doing.

Thank you Robin.

I had forgotten about that, anyone ever heard anything about them?
