A14 Attack Vehicle from ‘JOE 90’ created by Gerry Anderson
JOE 90 featured a variety of one off vehicles and aircraft which featured in the particular mission of the week. The A14 is one of the most memorable. It is seen in the episode ‘Business Holiday’ and Joe has to attack a military base that has been taken over by a foreign power and tanks and missiles are sent out to prevent him form reaching the base, It is one of the most entertaining episodes that really embraces and maximises the premise of the show.
Like all of the hardware seen in the series, with the exception of Mac’s Car this is a design from MIKE TRIM
As with many of the military vehicles the basic chassis and running gear started life as a ‘Tiger Joe Tank’, which was a massive ‘2 foot long toy tank’ that was available at the time - if you had enough cash to buy one), and the Meddings VFX team used dozens of the things :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9OZy97PIeE
A 1/32nd model would be approx 1 foot in length.
