The trumpeter plastic is way too fragile. Thin and brittle.

As a static kit is amazing, but I would not rc it.

The interior is something else, the engine bay is complete in every way as is each crew station and therein lies the problem,
If you want an R/C Panzer 4 most of that detail has to be discarded because there is no space for it,
If you don't want a detailed static PZ4 but a R/C PZ4 than for all that the Tamiya is expensive you wont end up with half a box of detailed parts that you cannot use.
I wonder how accurate it is? I've seen it, and it does look good. But I don't usually associate Trumpeter with accuracy. Their 1/35 railway line is in most part, completely fictional!
