The "G" version as Jason said. It's the main production rear engine deck.

Since hollywood likes to re-edit movies replacing classic footage with cgi (star wars anyone), perhaps they should take these old war movies and put the correct tanks in the scenes. BOTB and Patton replace the M47's, realistic tigers in Kelly's Heros and replace the M51's and T-55 (T-54?) from Big Red 1. And enhance every explosion with blast rings.

But it's not Star Wars or Star Trek! No Uber mega fandom by the horde to buy everything and then trash it forever on line.

Not fantastic enough. Most old war movies are in boxed sets that are in the 9.99 bin. Hardly enough profit to update with CGI unless it's a real labor of love like the reconstructed Big Red One.

There are some recent films (more than I originally thought with some of the "reanactor" films) that really make the effort and if you want an accurate movie you have to seek them out and watch them.

Yeah but I know a some high school kids who would do it for extra credit, pizza, red bull and a tank of gas and it would still look better than the remade star treks or star wars.

BTW have you seen the limited edition star wars paper towels? Whats next, Jar Jar Binks toilet paper?

And can anyone tell me if that is a T-55 or T-54 in the Big Red 1?

How did I miss that. Cheers Paul.

Loved the old movies using the 'wrong' tank/truck in depicting one side or the other. That is what made them special. As a kid, I didn't know the difference between an M47 and a real Tiger. Who gave a damn when you're an 11 year old, wide eyed, mouth wide open, kid that was just overwhelmed with all that tank and truck stuff, guns blazing right along with some bad acting. To me it was a first time, virgin movie, never to be replicated or have a sequel, which in my book, made it that one-off gem.

I just built the "G" version. Not perfect but looks good when done.
