Get a Dora real gun in 1/35!
He’s gonna need a bigger display area for that. LOL! Someday when I retire, I’ll do one. :whistle:
Look around on YT. I think it comes in 10 on so big boxes.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

This monster was announced for last year. Still not released.
With a Leopard 2 on its back it'd be fricking cool!

That's awesome - that would look so cool with Leopard 2 on the back I agree!

Hobby Boss do this one, if you want Cold War. Again, with a Challenger or Chieftain on the back, that would looks awesome.

Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing your tank transporter done Stuart! I've already built nine tank transporters in 1/72 scale; everything from the tiny MACK truck used t haul FT-17's all the way up to the massive M1070 tank transporter used to haul Abrams tanks. They break down into: two German, one Russian, five American and one British. I'd post pics but they were all wiped by my wife when she formatted my drive without backing it up first.
