Anybody have Taigen Metal Panther F or G?

Didn't make the holiday delivery. Should be getting it tomorrow or Tuesday so will post pictures asap.

Look what the postman delivered today:
Exterior shots before accessories:
Interior shot, nice and neat with the excellent Taigen metal lower:
And FINALLY, yes, it does have rollers for the metal turret, 360 turning, and Taigen's own recoil which is one of my favourite:
Will be putting in a Clark board straight swap, keeping everything stock otherwise since it is already IR ready.

Thanks for the photo's Michael. Good to see the rollers and the Taigen recoil unit.

How do you like the turret rollers..notice a difference?
Re: Anybody have Taigen Metal Panther F or G?
The turret is quite heavy, so I think it is more a necessity than a feature to put in the rollers. I don't know if it is because it is small and hard to grip, but you can really feel it even when I was lifting it to take the picture. The weight plus the roller makes it a steady turn, not too much shake or rickety like cheaper Heng Long fares.

makes sense..my KT torro is also very heavy..I sanded and put graphite to get it smooth moving. Maybe take a video(s) when you can!?
