There is a Japanese (who else?) manga about tank driving high school girls in short skirts who fight other high school girls in tanks and short skirts.

I was experiencing a little cultural disconnect, but the manga writers were probably anticipating the US Defense Department clearing women for combat, which includes driving tanks. So basically they were just a bit ahead of the curve.

The model uses many, many parts from papertiegrarmaments, and might even be their stug III(i dont own their stug, soc ant be certain) but im gunna make sure that nebeltex knows about this.

First of all, I want to thank ju52man for the "heads up" on this model. I have noticed other models on the web directly "lifted" from our creations. However, having said that, I do not believe that is the case in this instance. The model is quite crude and, without directions, practically unbuildable. While it may be true to form for the manga subject referenced, there are many mistakes (Mk. IV road wheels for a start). Thanks again, c.b.

Noticed there are links to a lot of other models on this site, worth exploring

Ah, glad ya noticed the road wheels nebeltex, i didn't. Yeah, its a pretty crude model, and as you said, probably unbuildable. Just thought ya might want to see it, or know that it's out there.
