Rolling Thunder Technologies: If highly detailed, 1:6 scale R/C tanks are your thing, this site is certainly worth checking out.

For the more budget-conscious, the site also offers FOA vehicle kits and Armorpax white metal and resin upgrade parts for the 21c R/C Stuart tank, such as a metal 1917A1 30. cal cradle to replace the stock pintle mount. |
