HL/Taigen Panzer 4 with ELMOD

Post by DasPanzer »

I finally got all of my parts in for this Panzer 4 . Just a quick demo since I installed the new turret and ELMOD today. This will also have the side skirt armor and turret armor. Any who here’s a quick video. I still haven’t decided on the sound effects yet.

The Elmod sounds brilliant. Is this a standard heng long with metal upgrades and the target metal turret?
Tanks alot.... :wave:

Looking forward to this build :thumbup:
Is your Heng Long PZ4 Body a recent purchase because I have been searching long and hard for a couple of them,
I really like the redesigned Taigen PZ4 Turret and thanks to Dave @ www.forgebeartanks.com I have fitted out a number of PZ4s but for as long as Taigen continue moulding the fixtures and fittings on the PZ4 Body I shall give the PZ4 body a wide berth, :thumbdown:
I am interested in how user friendly the Elmod board is and how much space it takes up before committing to buy one.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Take a look at my website, I published an elmod review one week ago.

Thanks Rad, Good review,Most helpful,
As you say the price is terrifying :lolno: And it could be a deal breaker although I do agree with you, the King of the fleet should have one installed :thumbup:
Certainly the size of the board suits my needs and I have no problem making a case for it although for the price I would have expected one as standard :thumbdown:
It reminds me of buying a BMW, The car/bike is reasonably priced UNTIL you workout that the essentials that are standard on other makes are EXTRA cost options on BMWs. :crazy:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I bought this HL Panzer 4 on eBay a couple of months back. I believe it was from Toucan Hobby.
