What would be a decent deal for it?

And is there any way to know whether this is the full option tank? Is the Leopard even sold as a non full option kit?

The Pz4 is deffo the 1/15 scale Bandai, and those gearboxes are no good whatsoever, neither are the electrics, so 50 is about the right price if you wanted to make it fully operational. A Leopard, always a difficult one, but 250 upwards?

Leopard will sell for £250 - £350 - so upwards is right :)

Seems like a very modest price! How come I see many used Leopard offers on eBay in the 500 range? And always with a lot of watchers, so it must be a reasonable price?

Bad time of year maybe?

There's been one for sale near me for about two months and it's not sold. Cheap enough and with a radio!

Looks like the seller is willing to sell it for 200! I'm not quite sure I want a Tamiya leopard though, I do like a good run outside and the Tamiya looks a little delicate.....

Front suspension looks knackered.

Where is it?

If you have no experience of Tamiya a leopard is not a good place to start.

If any of you chaps want a good deal I'll gladly link the page and you can arrange a deal. You'd just have to pay for shipping from Germany to UK (Not sure how that fares for the health of the tank and whether the seller agrees to do it, but worth a try). Not sure I want to half-heartedly buy the Leopard just because it's a good deal...

Hmm, yeah. I definitely wouldn't know how to fix that.
