Here's the question of the day. What do you guys think is the sexyist tank?
For me, I think its todays Brittish Challenger 2. I just love the lines, its so futuristic. I really like this one from Tamiya.

I think it'll be the Pz Kfz V Panther or the Marder III M

Not a tank but a halftrack would be the Sd.Kfz 250/3.

No contest, the Leopard 2A6 IS the best looking tank out there

Oh, for the half track pick I'd have to go with the Demag Check out the lines on this bad boy. Plenty of room for the babes in the back.

Ain't nothing sexier than a ragtop Demag. A real chick magnet.

For a tank though, I'd have to say the Tiger I. Big and mean looking like a tank should be.

I'll probably get blasted for this but ALL of the modern tanks, Abrams, Challenger II, Leclerc, Leopard, all look the same to me. I can't say any of them are any sexier than the others. If I had to choose one tank from WWII that looked the best, most powerful, I'd go with the Tiger II, King Tiger.

Sexy? I like the smooth curves of the M4A1 Sherman. Reminds me of the classic cars of the same period.

Thats my opinion also. Thats probably why if I build something modern itusuallyends upbeing a recovery vehicle or something unusual.
WW2 is something totally different. The uglier the better. The matilda, KV2, etc, but I guess the T34 variants would be my favourite. Trucks would have to be the Bull-nosed chevy type trucks.
Who could be bothered with aero-dynamics?

I would have to say the M4A1E8 wins most sexy for me.

Modern- I'm partial to the Abrams- It looks all business.

WWII- I was all set to vote for the King Tiger, but Sabot's comments about the Sherman's curvy lines like the cars of the era... I'm voting Sherman.

Agreed. I am partial to the Abrams, but I will also venture another:

Merkva. Well armed, not too wide but still holds the kids, rough on the edges, but a fairly smooth ride .
