Lightweight Tank

03 Mar 2008

Finally, someone has designed a tank that can be easily transported by air. It’s based on the German Panzerkampfwagen V Panther from WW2, widely regarded as one of the best designs of the war. Though it can’t go toe-to-toe with modern heavy tanks, it wasn’t designed to. No doubt anyone thinking of buying these will hear about lack of armor protection against today’s weaponry.

    I guess now that it is March – it is time to start beta testing possible April Fool’s Day postings. ;)

    I’ll bet it looks really cool when it takes a BIG hit!

    That’s really nice reactive armor they’re using on that tank.

    I like the ‘Light’ Attack Helicopter.

    The MG-42 on top made of small balloons really makes it.

    The Nerfenwagen. Looks big and all, but I bet it’s a deathtrap in a fire.
