Hi all,
looking @ Flickr & found this photo, does anyone know of or seen this vehicle before? From what I could make out it's by Chap Mei, but wouldn't it make a great
vehicle?

It would look good with Oktober Guard figures.

Jesus Thundershot, where did you get that Scorpion? I frickin want one, it looks awesome. Scorpions are the reason Wolverines are cool.

Hi Mark..
I used to have one as a kid, that one was originally purchased from a small local supermarket in the early 80's by dad as a treat for me being a good boy & behaving myself well @ school, of course it got played with & wrecked many many years ago & no longer exists, so when I saw one on e-bay a year or so I jumped for it
they're battery operated, nothing complicated just simple forward & reverse only (via a tinplate switch on the back) & don't have any opening hatches or room for a driver...but it looks just like the old V.A.M. Scorpion & seems about the right scale for
.
I used to line up a row of Matchbox cars & run the tank over them, it had a good strong motor..untill the batteries died
A few turn up on e-bay from time to time, like this example, which is the same as mine..
