There is this Chinese battle tank on eBay if anyone fancied something different. Never seen this model listed anywhere before.

Re: Chinese battle tank on eBay
I have one. I bought it on a whim from Mato in Canada because it was dirt cheap ($150US). It's actually really starting to grow on me. There is a build thread on mine here on RCU.

Reminds me I didn't post the pics of it after the repainting of the camo. I updated the thread with pics of the new camo.

Re: Chinese battle tank on eBay
Something fishy with this sale.
Looking at all the other 1/16th tanks this person sells, none of them are under £100. Reading the description, he assumes it works. . . .
This seller sells plenty of stuff, and many many tanks, with his description he's acting like he's trying to shun responsibility "if" it doesn't work, because "I've not tested this tank, but as you can see its unused so no faults assumed!"
Like he's a private seller not knowing what he's selling.
I've seen some bad feedback for this seller in the past, makes me think he tries to palm off some dead parrots.
Not someone I would trust, but if you're patient, and use PayPal for extra protection, could be worth a punt.
But for me, I'm convinced this seller knows what he's selling. I may be wrong, but it seems very cheap compared to what this seller usually sells.

Re: Chinese battle tank on eBay
Welcome gentlemen
Here are my 5 cents.
1. You did not search well enough because the same seller offers this tank model on at least three different eBay accounts.
Sometimes it is worth using a browser on a PC, because smartphone applications do not show a lot of important information (details later) ...
2. This is an auction - so the final price may be higher, but according to the seller's description, the transmitter and battery are missing. So it's not worth exceeding their value when bidding ...
3. This seller has registered his company in CREWE in something like a Business Center and has at least 3 different eBay accounts.
As far as I know, this is a dropshipping sale (i.e. that he does not have the goods he sells - but only transfers orders to an external company (distribution center) from where it is sent to the client - usually after 2-3 business days. How do I know that? Because I bought HL Lepoard 2a6 from him in 2019 ... He came to Poland without a scratch (via the Netherlands) after about 2 weeks, then I paid £ 135 for him with shipping - today it's over £ 280. (Including shipping costs £ 28 and import charges £ 64) ..
Below are screenshots and links to his auctions. Pay attention to the VAT number, address, and the name of the owner of the company ...
