Arrived yesterday, initial negatives are 1) Quite slow, lot of weight to carry I guess. 2) Plastic upper hull, sandwiched between the metal lower hull and turret, just doesn't seem right. 3) BB gun fires ok but inconsistent power/range ratio, guess that's to do with the re-coil action.
Everything else is fine.
With my limited experience, HL Tiger 1, HL Walker Bulldog, Taigen T34 and now this one, I'd have to say the T34 imho is the best.

Tony, I know your other name is 'Wizzz' - but how fast do you want a 60 tonne tank to move? Most of us spend £££s trying to slow the buggers down...

Re: Tiger Mid from Germany
Perhaps I should have said not fast rather than slow
My main concern is the BB firing it sort of fires at the ground rather an upward trajectory, My HL Tiger gun works superbly. the elevation on the gun is not that high, certainly not as high as the HL Tiger. Also the turret seems rather loose so as it fires I think the turret tips forward with the recoil action. Or is all of this just a symptom of the gun re-coil action? Or maybe the weight of the metal turret causes this?
