Looks fantastic! I'm glad the tracks didn't totally destroy your sanity.

Thanks!

Drunk too much beer so building 6mm Finns instead tonight! 

Had to rip the tail fins off and they were too big, going to carve them from balsa instead.
Debating cutting ailerons but worried about buggering it up...   :o

then there is the track guides... :(

Tank really looks great - I've made a few- but never as quick :-*  I like the rivet technique as well.

Looking through the other entries my build is pretty bland and uninteresting!

Pity I didn't think of stretching 'flight' to 'jump' - I could have built this:



It was an attempt at making a jumping T-26.  It didn't work... ;D

In no world is a flying tank "bland". None.

That being said, the jumping tank would have been cool too. It's one of those wonderfully silly ideas.

Seriously impressive skills on the build as well, especially when considering the speed you're working at.

Ta!

Wings are now built - now need detailing not that there is much to do. 
Drag wires and control surfaces.

Not just stunning, but fast too!
This is going to be spectacular when completed.

Hope so!

Got to hack a big hole in the tank floor to fit the ballast too...

Is the jumping tank on the build list then?

 :-* :-* :-*

Colour me impressed!
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
