BARV
ps .......... Help.........will go nutty.

On those sites this morning, I seen all them, but I only told you about that site that had the one that I thought looked like the one you want to build, I thought that is what we was looking for, not these close looking ones.

These might as well be a total different tank, cause they have none of the same top parts.

Kerry

Kerry,
Got an other link to show the "beastie....

I knew someone made a toy of this and found it on e/bay.Its not quite the same but it might help you build it if you bought the toy as you will have the measurements.
P.S i'm not selling it by the way. Heres the link.

Andy,

see post above......thanks for trying
aye
BARV

I looked at the picture I told Barv about again, and seen it was the wrong one, and I apologize for that Barv, and you guys putting up pictures of anything but the one he wants to build, is like somebody giving you directions to a different model, it doesn't help at all, I'm sorry to say, I know you meant well, but when somebody is trying to scratch build, they need the very same one they are building, with no difference.

Like I said, other wise that would be like somebody giving you the wrong directions to put a model together. Like yesterday when I went through all them pages, then I found that one photograph, that was so dark then, I could of sworn that was it, I should of held on to it until I made sure that was it, but like I said I was so excited, that I thought I finally found one, cause I had been searching all day, but now I find out, I never did find one yet.

After what I seen of Barv's mailing list, he has his hands full anyway, a lot more then I could handle, but I'm sure he appreciates all the help, but it only helps if it is the very same one he showed in the very first picture.

He never asked me to say this, I'm just trying to help.

Kerry

hi

should have emailed me first.

ok i have somewhere a line drawing of the beast along with some other stuff which came out in a defence international years ago.

also i picked up Jochen Vollert pionerpanzer 1956 to now
it is in there along with 8 pictures.

more info
Elite in Germany do the DACH's , might be possible to ask for just these parts.
i have looked it to doing it myself, so you can use there Booms,buckets etc but the turn table mounts are slightly differant.

hope this helps
