Rogue One Imperial Hover tank (may be spoilers!)

The Imperial Hover tank attacked by Rebels in Jedha is based on a CRV(T) Sheilder chassis:

Accurate Armour do a 1:35 Sheilder but its out of production at the moment, go here if you want them to repop it!

Looked like it was on tracks to me when I watched Rogue One.

 

The chassis one would need would be a Stormer, as that's what the Shielder system is mounted on. You could also just use a CVR (t) chassis (Scimitar, Scorpion etc) as the Stormer is a modernised version if these with an extra  road wheel.

 

Regardless, I'd love them to re-pop the kit as there is an absolute derth of modern AVREs on the market.

If you look at the front you see the lockers that are only on the Shileder chassis which is derived from Stormer but had extra bins added. To convert from a Scorpion or Scimitar would be tricky as its  wider (2.76m as opposed to 2.13m) as well as longer with the extra road wheel.

1:12 scale would be about half the size of the old Action Man tank toy which was a Scorpion :)

 

Alternatively the Stormer chassis is

5.27m long = 44cm in 1:12

2.76m wide = 23cm in 1:12

2.49m tall = 21cm in 1:12

 

Of course it'd be a bit wider and longer because of all the gubbins they've added...

I think the idea that this was a hover tank was from a poor quality screngrab plus some pics of Lego models,

Looks like they don't understand who the driver is - he should be the bloke with his head sticking out of the driver's hatch!
