Hey Guys, just had a Thought,What If a 'Super Tank' were built using an at the Time available Tank Model? What Tanks would work for a 'Gerry Anderson' style Super Tank? I'm Talking British,American,Etc. Thought about trying a Project of Creating a 'Super Tank' with some Tanks Available Now that may have been around @ the Time of Shows like 'Thunderbirds','Joe 90', 'Captain Scarlet',Etc. i'm not sure what's Available or if 1/35 would be a Workable scale. What Say You? thanks for looking.Dan

Anything on tracks from Thunderbrids or earlier was built on the basis of a particular remote controlled toy tractor. They are now very collectible and rare as they were expensive and never sold well. You can spot them easily - four big road wheels. The Mole is uses a basically un changed track unit so it's easy to see.
There was a super tank in Joe 90 I think, but it looked nothing like any existing tank.
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

The tractor in question is the Vickers Vigor bulldozer.

Found one quite a few years ago at the Budge Collection.
