| I made a RC Dragon jeep in 2006 but I want one of those. I am just not sure about off shore sellers like bang good. Did you get yours yet ? _____________________________________________ The Great Pan-Tiger |

| It's a standard 1/10th scale crawler chassis with a 1/6th scale jeep body on it. (Hence a bit off in scale).
Still fun though. |

| I have heard something about that. 1/6 is just not a scale that is common other than 12 inch figures. Even the AFVs for the 12 inch figures are off as they are just so damn big. A little worry that the 12 inch figures I put on the M5 and the Jeep will look funny.......... |

| You figures will look fine with the Stuart, and Hong has figures in his jeep and they are good. I had a real 1953 jeep at one time and they are not big also people come in different heights. 12 inch figures do come in different sizes as well... It will be fine... The size difference between the Roc jeep and the Dragon jeep is minimal... _____________________________________________ The Great Pan-Tiger |

| What looks small the tank or the driver ?? The driver would be a 6 ft 1 in real life and well fed and the Stuart is a small tank in real life as well... he is fine
For you jeep you want a soldier made by Dragon not GI Joe .. Joe's are too toy like and dragons are more flexible. Go to Sixth Army Group and search Stuart tank... Now your hooked !! _____________________________________________ The Great Pan-Tiger |

I mean when he is sitting in the turret he looks small. No matter, not going for accuracy here, so same reason I won't pay the extra to get the Dragon figures. I am just looking for cheap 12 inch and GI Joe fits the bill ! Especially this one since I am breaking it in half when I open the box. |

| Actually I did some Googling after I sent the message and the one picture you posted is the one that convinced me it was okay. My version has front mud guards and also side skirt so it looks slightly bigger as well.
Will bring it out next weekend and see how it runs (around the outside of the field anyway don't think it will fit anywhere else). |

| Showed up in one piece and quite fast delivery. Looks half decent with the GI Joe and the M5A1. The only problem as Captain was correct, the GI Joe is not flexible enough to be the driver. Hopefully my two other figures from eBay will work better otherwise more chopping ! |
