Supposedly T34/76 but thats strictly from initial discussion with Feng, their laoban, & that's been some time ago. The Hetzer was originally meant to be available last April so am sure you've got enough time to save up for one.

Thanks. If they do a late 76 they'll be OK without using rubber tyres too.....

Notwithstanding some visual flaws, and some disquiet over Hooben's ability to deliver on time (or at all, on occasion), it's good to have a bit more variety, and scale options, in the rc tank market. :thumbup:
At least these are tangible tanks, and not merely 3-D images. :|

Got mine yesterday. Overall impression is good aside from several issues, most of which I had expected with the first run. That said, there is one glaring faux pas that left me scratching my head: a gap along the hulls that could be a tolerance issue with middle bulkhead latch setup - worst case I fill with plasticard & putty. I'll spend some time on it later today & get comments along with more photos over for you folks. Here are a few alongside HG's Hummer for reference.

Not sure about that but here’s what was posted earlier on FB. They sell through Amazon but not sure if they have stock yet in US. All closed here now for CNY so guess earliest will be sometime in February once Hooben reopens.
