Mato full metal m36b1 tank

Post by tomhugill »

Hey gents, she's finally arrived! Thanks to Dave forgebear for ordering her for me. She's without the control board and tx to keep costs down and so I can add an ibu 2 or 3.

I'm very pleased, she came nicely packaged with a proper box, properly padded.

Image

First thing to check, the gearboxes are steel and look to be fully ball raced

Image

Tracks are the t-49 duckbill type, very nice with spare links included

Image

The suspension looks to work very well and is nicely detailed

Image

Led head and tail lights are included

There are some excellent details like casting numbers and weld beads

Image

Image

Opening hatches and rear engine grates

Image

Image

Separate removable tools

Image

Turret details

Image

Image

Ammo rack

Image

Gun breach

Image

Lifting hooks and guards have been cast nice and thin

Image

Hard top or convertible!

Image

Image

Hatches move independently

Image

Image

Rear details

Image

Separate chassis

Tom,
Looks great! Lots of ready to go details and super nice tracks. This set up is a win for MATO. I am crossing my fingers that the M10 arrives soon.
congrats and regards,
Painless
