Oh how I laughed when you wrote "I MIGHT GET ANOTHER ONE" this comes under the heading of "THE BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS" go for a Pershing it had a long and interesting history with a lot of modifications and it is a nice size so plenty of space inside for a decent control board, the T34 and those others on your list are what everyone else builds right after they have finished their "STUG" :O shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

That's a henglong t-34 in the picture (the raised suspension is the tell tail). Panther and jagdpanther are great runners out the box. If your after a Pershing you can probably pick up a tamiya Pershing of UK eBay for under £200 or $300 (shippings is probably $75). Anyway all the tanks your mentioned have metal lower hulls so there's scope for upgrades in the future!

I thought about the Pershing, maybe 5 minutes total...not one of America's greatest tanks (that would have to be the M1 I suppose) saw little service in WW2 but did knock out a Tiger or two. They were considered unreliable and underpowered but the 90 mm did clean up a lot of the T-34's in Korea. But now you've got me thinking of an M41...

Good Morning,
Marc, I can recommend the HL or Tamiya Pershing or a combination of both. Why?, I cannot fathom at the moment. *chuckles* ;o)

Gotta agree with Marc, the Pershing was more prone to breaking down then being taken out by an enemy tank!

If those you have pictured are the ONLY 3 you'd consider then I'd say go for the T34 unless you're trying to march on Poland. ;) :haha:

Don't get the Matorro T34...if anything the Heng long...from what I've been reading...it's better than the Taigen... I have two both are great
the Matorro has funky sounds ... a weird controller

JagdPanther is nice...the Panther is nicer :D

But really... Get a Sherman ...you won't regret it :D
