Best diecast tanks

DARTHTODD · 01-15-2004, 11:49 PM

Hi, just wondering which company right now makes the best diecast tanks. Saw that Dragon makes some and Corgi, anything else that may be good? Thanks.

They aren't diecast but check out the microtech miniature R/C tanks fron dragon. Very detailed and cool. Now if they only made one that would shoot.

I will probably buy a bunch of these Dragon Armor tanks in 1:72 scale when they are eventually released:

60015 USMC M1A1H1 Abrams Main Battle Tank - 1st Marine Tank Battalion, Baghdad, 2003

60016 US M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank - 4th Infantry Division [Mech], Iraq, 2003

60017 US M1A1HA Abrams Main Battle Tank w/ Mine Plough - Apache Troop, 1-1 Cav, Bosnia 1996

60018 US M1A1H1A Abrams Main Battle Tank w/ Mine Plough - 1st Platoon, B Company, USMC Tank Battalion

I also plan to sample these Minichamps tanks in 1:35 scale:

350-041000 USMC M48 A3 'Patton' Main Battle Tank - Operation: Pipestone Canyon

350-041100 US M60 A1 w/ ERA Main Battle Tank - Operation: Desert Storm, 'Beirut Payback'

350-043000 US M1A2SEP Abrams Main Battle Tank - Iraq, 2003

The Motor Pool (www.themotorpool.bigstep.com/catalog.html) does custom work so I may be tempted to go for some of their more interesting creations:

TMP2071 US M48 A3 'Patton' Medium Tank - Winter Camouflage (1:35 Scale)

TMP2072 US M48 A3 'Patton' Medium Tank - Desert Camouflage (1:35 Scale)

TMP5045 US Army M247 "Sargeant York" Division Air Defense Gun (1:35 Scale)

TMP7061 US Army M48 A3 'Patton' Main Battle Tank - 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment (1:35 Scale)
