I'm looking for this little tank: link It was a collectible produced by Yamato.
So far, I had no luck. Neither google-fu nor evilbay brought satisfactory results. The only source was a shop in South Africa. Which ships only to… ummm… South Africa.
Has anyone seen this tank somewhere else? |

I know there were garage kits around when the show and manga were newer, but I haven't seen one of those in years. |

That's a mouthful -- clever as by the time you shout what's attacking you, you're already dead. |

Usually, their quarry would just say " , the Tank Police!" and to the crew, "Bonaparte" is good enough. |

I got one (two maybe?) at a Hello Cutie store a few years back. Can't really help you about more though, sorry. |

Just gotta know where to look ;) auction Been plotting on getting one for a while now, just have not had the time or funds. Enjoy! Dave |

Lol. I enjoyed this in it's anime incarnation. It was funny, ridiculous and just well done. |

Well to be honest I have seen it…. I believe it is in a box in my garage at the moment… Fiddly little model in 1/35th |

I almost want to convert one in 28mm, just for Infinity silliness, but I'd almost have to use a 15mm Sherman for the hull! |

@ Dathbain: Quite close, thanks for the link, anyway… @ infojunky: Yeah, that's the rare TVC-15/Workshop Cast resin kit. I gave up looking for this one… @ Lion in the Stars: Scratchbuilding the hull wouldn't be a big problem for me, whereas the shape of the tracks would require some sculpting skills (which I certainly lack…). |

I don't know if anyone is still looking at this, but I have 4 of them… |
| Thornhammer | 16 Jun 2012 2:14 p.m. PST |
What are you asking for them? |
| Lion in the Stars | 16 Jun 2012 3:29 p.m. PST |
Yup, I'd also be interested, if the price isn't too outrageous. |
| Grabula | 16 Jun 2012 5:14 p.m. PST |
Is that the movie where they avoid a pursuer by ejecting giant, extremely phallic ballons out of the tank?! |

I'll post this here, as I want anyone interested to see, I'll take offers of 15mm sci-fi, SFB/SF-ACTA/ST-clix ships, and $$$ of course… just PM me with offers |

So, I'm really sorry about reviving this thread after two years of inactivity, but I'd like to know – retzlaffmd, do you have any of those left? |
| mylordkhorne | 23 Oct 2014 6:41 a.m. PST |
retzlaffmd, I'd like to second a request if you still have any bonaparte kits left ;) |

I might know of a shop that has some, will ring them in morning. Not sure how big there were but got one myself sometime back. Regards MMG. |

Somebody made Bonapartes for the Total Annihilation PC game. I used to love attacking the other guy with dozens of those things! |
