ferretfixer Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I used to Own a Saladin myself a few years back. Chopped it in for a scorpion, But I miss owning it! I would be VERY interested in a LARGE scale saladin. One that could be modified for radio control. Say 1/6th Scale, would you be able to do that?.........:nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecyMech Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Fugly, I forgot to mention...smashing pics, thanks for sharing those.

Fugly Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 There was a really nice scratchbuilt Stalwart at a model show recently - video on you tube - fully amphibious , about 2 feet long.

Fugly Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 The guy that sent me the pics was in the SAf and said he heard of a Saladin being attacked by machine guns and RPG's it returned with every optic smashed.

AlienFTM Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Second to last photo you can see some tracer going uprange. If I were sat in the turret and saw tracer coming uprange, I'd be sending plenty back downrange at the source! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugly Posted February 17, 2011 Author Share Posted February 17, 2011 Yes , he did say they had some really aggressive range targets that often would retaliate .:-D If I were sat in the turret and saw tracer coming uprange, I'd be sending plenty back downrange at the source!
