Moneys tight for a trip from Indiana to Oklahoma with a tank in tow. lol Maybe one day down the road it may be possible for that.

Did you know that the scaled Panzer took place in Oklahoma D-Day? It was great to see that, and real sized one side by side slinging paint!

I don't know how close you live to Wyandotte, Ok but your tank would easily be a centerpiece sir.

Could you possible message me some links on how you made that great F-17?

hey i also made a replica tank, it is bigger then yours but it is made out of wood.
it moves but everything is homade the gun is 1 1/2 inch and uses gunpowder to fire.
it's not as good as i want it to be but it's preety good for a high school student.
and i built it for under 450 dollars all home depot materials, good job on your f17 tank

If you like the show AMERICAN CHOPPER on the Discovery Channel, you will enjoy my new show, AMERICAN FABRICATOR.

Please watch one of my latest dramatic episodes as I expose the danger, hardship, and the struggle of operating a fabrication shop with a flair for zany comedic flow.

If you like what you see and subscribe to my channel, I will return the favor and subscribe to your channel. I am open to any ideas you may have for an upcoming show.




Thank you for watching, The Fabricator
