Chad Valley T 72 tank

Spotted one of these in my local Argos. Looks about right size for customizing but I can't be 100% as the box was sealed.

That looks pretty cool - I think I may have to pick one up; if it's crap I can always take it back .

it doesn't look to bad actually, it would go well with the cobra air force.

The tank is ripe for making a October Guard custom

Just picked up one of those tanks. Pretty nice, actually. It is a bit bigger than the MOBAT so will look good next to AF, but is a good bit lighter no doubt due to the lack of any motorisation, but it does have some very nice lights and sounds. The plastic is also a little flimsier than the MOBAT but not so much that it screams out at you. It is also very nicely detailed, and the moulding overall is very 'sharp'. One nice bonus is that the hatch on the turret opens so you could easily place as figure in there. Just one thing bugs me though - the paint job on it is very nice indeed (the equal of anything produced by Hasbro) except for the fact it has 'SOLDIER' written on one wing. If it wasn't for this I would be quite happy to slap some AF stickers on it and leave it at that. It also appears to come apart quite easily as the hull and chassis just clip together, although I haven't tried dismantling it yet. Overall it is very much £5 well spent, and at this price I may pick up another.

Just had a closer look and noticed a few small screws, but still nothing too tricky - thankfully no rivets.

'Goldeneye' style tank chase any body?

Here is a quick pic to give you an idea of scale; as you can see it fits in nicely with AF -
