King Tiger Turned Heavy Gear Support Aller


Back in 97 I got into Heavy Gear and at that time they were
in 1/87th scale.They had a wide range of Gears and Infantry
but, only one of the light tanks were available...So I took a
Roco King Tiger and made this by cutting the top deck turning
it around to rear mount the turret, replaced the standard
turret with a modified M60 and other bits.......

    The unfeasably long gun and red trim everywhere makes it a classic '80s Sci-Fi model to be treasured :O)

    I remember cutting the gun off a Conqueror tank, replacing it with a Radar and painting the whole thing metallic blue - it looked as bad as it sounds!

    Kind regards, Chris
