Thanks for the link JBR. I was very pleased to see your name attached to these. If the amount of responses to this thread are any indication, these should do very well! |

It would look terrible
not something that humans have business driving anyways. Maybe for a robot army that lack a consideration for aesthetics. Aesthetics always take a back seat to engineering- particularly in soviet weapon system! I would actually take the ugly-but-functional look over 'cool' any day of the week. -Will |

Aesthetics are at no point a secondary consideration when buying something that you have to paint and play with. |

Aesthetics are at no point a secondary consideration when buying something that you have to paint and play with. But if the look you want is ugly and functional then surely 'cool and slick' is not the aesthetic model you want to follow? More to the point, there are lots of 'cool' models already out- would it be terrible if there were a couple of vehicles that were clearly the product of a 'if it works right it works right' mentality? -Will |

Aesthetics are at no point a secondary consideration when buying something that you have to paint and play with. But you also have to consider the market buying the vehicle. This vehicle is obviously targetted at folks who want that "Red" look to their vehicles. Aesthetics always take a back seat to engineering- particularly in soviet weapon system! I would actually take the ugly-but-functional look over 'cool' any day of the week. In Soviet Russia tank builds itself? -Eli |

One of the exciting prospects for this line will be to take existing Russian turrets, like the BMP-3 or the reactive armored T-80 and apply them to the Khurasan tank body. Vice-versa as well. Should create lots of interesting varieties. |

@Kenshin – that's cracking :o) But a bit 'busy' for my taste. I like the 'T55 on Steroids' look of the AMV and AGM. |

Update -- approved the resin production castings today, should get the pewter pieces in a day or two. If everything fits together can sign off on the whole kit and then it will be 3-4 weeks until it hits the market! |
