pictures Mike.

In a wheeled design, the rear wheel would pivot and steer. This is silly
on
a tracked setup as *you just run the tracks separately to spin or turn*.
And
it looks very vulnerable. If they'd made it just a full length two track
chassis, it would have been nicer. Probably you could take the top half
and
kitbash it onto someone's tank chassis and produce a nice looking model.

I like the HK. Pity it isn't a dropship with a ramp, but it looks good.
Going to have to try to find a couple of these up in Canada, eh! And I
think
the rear stabilizers could have been designed a bit differently to be
aesthetic, but I think they are necessary for balance (visual).
