Boom-boom, Richard!

Interesting site, he mentions other companies making alternative vehicles using the CMP chassis, including General Motors Holden using a 6x6 chassis for a 'Heavy Armoured Car' 158" wheelbase. Is there any pictures of such a beast? Thanks Tim

Tim I don't believe that vehicle got off the drawing board. The chassis eventually arrived and they became blitz trucks. 4x4 chassis arrived and they became the Rhino AC, although that project never went past a few prototypes.

There are a few inaccuracies with wheelbases and other things.

Did anyone notice Max Hedge's C15 "Tickets" is their example for the type.

Thanks Ryan,
Will admit I've got a soft spot for 6x6 and 8x8 armoured vehicles, one of my first Tamiya models was of the German 8x8 armoured car, which no doubt in real life was an impressive vehicle. Would have been interesting to see what GMH might have created.... Cheers Tim

Tim, you could always buy a US6 chassis which are pretty cheap and stratch build a 1:1 scale German 6 rad.
