M10 wolverine ?

[Afrikakorps]

Hello Gentlemen,
I was wondering if anyone has purchased the new Mato M10 Wolverine ?
I seem to remember that it was seen and pictured way back in early 2014, along with several other tanks. These included the all metal M4a3 Sherman (75) and the M36b Jackson, both of which are now in production.
I know that several people have scratch built versions of the M10, and that there is a resin kit available to convert a Heng long M4 into a M10.
However, I noticed on the Mato Toys website that they are now advertising the all metal M10.
Has anyone actually got one of these, and if so, what are the like ? Quality etc....
Any more pictures or a review would be most welcome.
Cheers

I have the full metal Mato Sherman. The quality is very good. I think they use the same lower hull. I found some videos from youtube.

Thanks MyPanzer111,
Its good to hear that you are happy with your Mato Sherman. I have only breifly looked at one a club member has. Not running yet. I have also read some varying opinions about quality.

I think the new M10 will be similar to the M36, but I am interested to know if anyone has got the M10.
Sounds like they may be too new or too pricey.
Cheers

My suggestion to you would be to THOROUGHLY inspect it upon its arrival. Mato quality control varies WILDLY! Members love them and other hate them, my experience with their M36 was so bad I sold it and took a loss and will never buy one of their metal tanks again, monumental waste of my money!

Just check it out REAL good!

You should count my PanzerIII in as well. A huge pain to make it run properly which a super expensive tank was supposed to run great out of the box. Mato's metal tanks should be deserved for shelf display than running.

I wonder if things have improved since this post as I was looking to but one. I cant find a kit to change a Sherman. Has anyone got a M10 Wolverine with the Clark TK22 board as I know you can get it without.

We I've got mine and I'm very happy with the quality of the product. The only little niggle is that the back hatch isn't shutting properly, but that's easily fixed.

I've taken out the Mato receiver and put a turnigy receiver in . There isn't much room inside, even if you move things around you will never get a large battery in there.

It might be a small thing but I love the fact that the front lights and gun flash have a yellowish colour and not the xenon white the everything else has these days.

Good morning,
We all know how Crazy Joe feels about his M36B1. ;o) (Jackalope sold me his and I replaced the upper hull and turret with another set and have it running with a Clark Board from Maxmekker ) It took a lot of work and attention to detail ( building the inside of the open turret from scratch ) but it is one of the best running tanks I have now.
regards,
Painless

I have the Mato M36 and the M10(really it's a M10A1). I like them both.
