sardaukar Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Hi Folks Anyone know any nice Scifi Tank or Ground Vehicle kits in a smaller scale, so 1/72 or about. Tracked or wheeled preferably. Here is a decent example https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265125520407?hash=item3dbab66417:g:BYIAAOSwGulgeaSX Various models of Landrams from Battlestar Galactica. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misrule Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Bandai does some tanks and ground vehicles from the Gundam series, either 100 or 144 scale but they are so big they look fine next to 72nd scale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok I'll check them out, when I said 1/72 I was thinking more about display space so 100 or 144 may well be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FG2Si Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Modelcollect does some paper panzers in 1/72 that could possibly be a good base for conversions. They've also got some kits with kegs instead of tracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBros718 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Alas, can't think of any kits off-hand in 1/72, but Shapeways has a lot of choices... You just have to survive their terrible search engine! Yeah, the Bandai U-Wing kit has two of the Rogue One Imperial tanks in 1/144. And to Misrule's point, there is one or two sets from the Bandai 1/144 UC Hardgraph series that feature their M65A1 Semovente tank... The other has the cool hover trucks. Again, wrong scale, I know. Wonder if any of the Thunderbirds tracked vehicles were ever kitted in 1/72...? Good luck, Sarduakar! With Regards and Aloha, Johnny B. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not quite what I had in mind. 5 hours ago, Beermonster1958 said: I do like the Modellcollect "Fist of War" and other "paper panzer" kits. One subject I'd love though is the Russian Druzynik MBT as featured in the otherwise truly awful CGI reboot of Captain Scarlet. Great hardware, shame about the series!! The revamped SPV was pretty damned neat too! John The first of war stuff is interesting. Actually the meng wandering earth stuff looks interesting if I can find it at a reasonable price.

Rumblestripe Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Have you looked at some of the Wargames scale stuff? For example 15mm Scale is (IIRC) about 1/100. The trader I found them on is called "Alternative Armies" and they carry several 15mm Sci Fi ranges Alternative Armies Laserburn and Asgard ranges Some of the stuff is plainly GW influenced and other more classic "hard" Sci Fi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
