"Where the hell have you lot been?"
 
Late in the afternoon of June 6th elements of the 101st Airborne greet their ranger relief that have been struggling to make it off the beaches of Normandy all day. Ahead awaits the hell of the bocage...

Its Fully R/C(of course!) and has lights and all the whistles and bells we normally shove in our models. Also carrying a .50 calibre gun and mount from Armmorpax plus a dragon DID Normandy 101 para and assorted crap so its a heavy bugger!
 
Oh and a big thankyou to Mrs Rocket(aka Scud) for making up the cover for the windsheild, makes the model in my opinion missus thanks!

Well, like I said on the home page it does actually work now. Originally it was fitted with a gearless motor to a meccano shaft and solid dif. Basically a stone-age set up that was never going to work. Now we have a 13 to 1 geared 540 technobots motor with a tamiya 1/14 truck rear dif and it runs off a tiny 7.2v Airsoft cell (soft cell gettit?, no? oh what the hell....You know tainted love woho.....ah forget it) any way it works!
