The concept was inspired by the Micro Machine of the same name. And yes, those are missile racks on the side; I moved them to the turret.

I did this by taking a 3025 Partisan tank and adjusting it to both have the desired weapons load and be a lot lighter; I dropped 25 tons in the design process.

You could have used the Thunderbolt missiles for a proxy of the front mounted missiles on the miniature and then could have left them in the front...still I like it.

Bear in mind that I was originally looking at having 3 RAC 2s instead of the Ultra 2s; I finally went with the Ultras as they were lighter.


So if you think it's bad now, you should have seen it with the RACs.
