Good evening.
Roku here.
The German tanks that appears in Roku's blog from time to time...
It's not like I have much knowledge regarding tanks, but there is something attractive about it.
In other words, I just randomly like it.
German Expulsion Tank Jagdtiger
This is a RC car that we are currently taking reservations for, from Aoshima.
Its heavy, and the cannon is fixed, so it lacks mobility, apparently. (from description text)
Ah, these are nice, aren't they? I like these kind of things.
German Expulsion Tank Jagdpanther
This here is also a RC car from the same series.
Reading the description, it seems this one has great capabilities. (I apologize for the lack of knowledge.)
By the way, what is this [Glacis Plate] thing in the description?
*apparently Glacis Plate is the sloped armor of a tank, designed to reflect the shells and bullets.
hmmmm... interesting, the armor sure is sloped.
This is kinda cool too; I also like this kind of stuff.
Looking at other
tanks...
It seems like the only ones with Glacis Plate are the
Panthers.
However, with the improved performance of shells these days, just making the armor sloped is not going to reflect them, so this Glacis Plate is a thing
of the past, apparently.
But, I still think its nice, the Glacis Plates. The product of the wits of the designer, you could say.
We've gained just a little more knowledge about tanks today, didn't we?
Right then, that's it for today.
By Roku, who just can't forget the colored Vakishim from the expo... Should I buy it...?
The eyes are just great.
I wish there are more
Ultra Monsters
released...
