Isn't that the Old Crow one with different tracks?

Clearly it's not the same.
Though reminiscent of.

Reminiscent of? They're both called Dragoon.
Looks like Ainsty have reworked the hull a little and changed the metal bits (wheels, tracks and turret). Have Ainsty bought some of Old Crow's moulds?

Those new tracks are pretty orrible.

Much as I love a good half track (especially one full of solipsists) I struggle to see their place in sci fi.

I prefer these to grav vehicles, at least they work better in my idea of sci-fi

the 1/2 tracks are nice, although the tracks themselves seem a bit big

Completely new model - bigger than the oc version (to fit in with the fluff)

And they are quite a bit bigger than the OC model, I'm not sure on the tracks though but I guess they could simply be swapped to a more practical configuration :)

Come pay day I'll most likely be getting a couple to replace my OC ones.

I'm sure those tracks should be one the other way round though - I'll try mine when I get home.

Agreed. In real life (I know, I know), those would be very ineffective in that configuration.
