Tamiya 1/16 scale M1A2 with sounds, lights, suspension, target fix, auto leveling turret, main gun recoil and muzzle flash, main machine gun muzzle flash, brakes. Aluminum barrel, metal hull, metal suspension, drive sprockets, upgrade metal gears, upgrade drive motor, ball bearings throughout.

This thing is big and heavy (about 20lbs). It's very scale. I like it and it was fun assembling/painting. I did my usual paint and weather techniques. It turned out great. It took three weeks to build.

The guy that owns it will have about $2000 in it after I deliver it.

Coming together nicely! Years ago, 90's, there was a co-worker that used to prank people. To get back at him I bought an RC tank that fired airsoft BB's. Drive it into his cubicle area, rotated the turret, raised the barrel so it was pointed at his arse. I figured he'd made some wise a$$ comment not realizing this thing could fire. Then I fired. Then I fired again. He was hopping around trying to get out of his chair and out of the cross hairs. I suppose that sort of workplace shenanigan would be greatly frowned upon these days. Fun to have a tank, everybody should own one. RC or otherwise!
