| Subject: | MBT-70 - Anybody Ever Done a Kit? |  |
| Date: | Apr 4, 2007 |
| From: | Al Crawford | |
Has anybody ever seen fit to do a 1/35th MBT-70, even in resin? With a dozen built, it's definitely not a Paper Panzer, fills in a gap in US MBT history, was a joint venture with Germany (and thus really should have at least three competing kits of it already available) and is basically just a very interesting vehicle.
I imagine a resin kit would be pretty pricey, but it'd certainly make for an interesting model, and would look great either sandwiched between a Leopard I and Leopard 2, or between an M-60 and an Abrams.
Fascinating beastie - look it up in Wikipedia for some pics. I don't expect to find that a kit exists in any form, but at least wanted to throw out "hey, why doesn't an MBT-70 kit exist?" just in case somebody reading's looking for something new and different for their next round of kits. If WWII German none-offs are good enough for rival kits, surely a part-German vehicle that was actually built in relatively large numbers is worthy of some attention?
