Can anyone show me the Impulsor chassis compared to a Rhino?

[Ishagu]

I'll be looking to get one or two of the new Gladiator tanks.

 

Can anyone show me the size of an Impulsor, compared to a Rhino? Specifically length and width? I'm wondering if my existing cases will be able to store the tanks.

 

If possible, if someone could tell me the dimensions compared to a Rhino that will be even better.

 

Thanks, all!

Impulsor: 15cm long (from the back of its engine to the bar on the front), ~9.5cm wide, 5.7cm tall (not counting the cupola)

 

Rhino chassis: 12.5cm long, 8cm wide, 5cm tall

Nice one, thank you.

 

Yeah that's a bit longer and wider. I'll need to invest in new foam trays.

 

Ugh... It's never simple.

Last time I held mine side by side, the Impulsor looks like it could have been made from the same hull, but with the back taken off and some jet engines bolted on. However, those engines are rather bulky, so they add both length and width. The grav-plates also add some width and depth, so even if you can take your old rhino tray and cut it to fit the engines, an Impulsor still might not fit vertically, plus you need somewhere to put the 100mm base during transport. It's unfortunately just too different to easily have a slot that works for both.

 

I expect that Gladiator vs Predator is similar, but I don't own either tank.

I've got a screenshot kicking around from an old Spiky Bits unboxing where they compared the size of the two.

Hope this helps!

[Ishagu]

Yes it does, thanks.

 

I think I know what foam trays I'll have to order.

 

Storing my models is as much of a consideration as anything these days.
