That kid has to be the most popular in his neighborhood. Other kids get plastic Tonka Trucks, he gets a fricking tank

How come I didn't get to drive a tank when I was a kid?

I'm sure that kid is terrorizing the neighbors with that thing now.

I bet Saddam is interested in acquiring a few of those. They'd do just as well against the M1A2 as his other tanks did.

Yeah, but he can't copy the spirit of the AMERICAN KID OF FREEDOM in the tank.

But it would provide immense entertainment value to our Army and Marine Tankercrewmen.

Would your kids have to share one, or would you build two so they can have battles in the yard?

I think Sheppard is going to get pissed that the kid has a tank and he doesn't. :lol:

So, is a neighbor going to construct a 1:5 model of a Panther or Tiger tank now? Will we see duels with five Shermans engaging a Tiger, potatos flying everywhere?

Screw that. I'll make entire flights of 1:5 scale B-17s escorted by P-51Ds instead :D
