Mato renew its Tiger 1

[PainlessWolf]

Good morning,
I wonder if this means that MATO will have a redesigned version of the upper and turret out as well ( with no molded on 'metal' tools )? It would be nice if they sourced out a better provider of their zinc as well. The latest supply has resulted in crumbling tools and fixtures on some of their high price offerings.
regards,
Painless

I wonder if they will correct the incorrect turret shape the Henglong taigen and mato all share

I'm about to place order on this Mato metal lower hull. The website offers it at US$240 + a HL upper plate (no turret) as a free gift. I have other parts of HL Tiger 1 including stock electric. Shipping fee from China to Cambodia is about $10. So I will pay total $250 to get a Tiger 1 with metal lower hull and plastic upper. Does it worth?

As I said previously the Taigen lowers a fraction of the price and as good if not better.

Well, I live in Cambodia and Taigen is not available to me. Even if I try to order it from Europe or the US, the shipping fee would be crazily expensive. I remember someone check the shipping fees from the UK to Cambodia for me and it is about $100 or so.

By the way, the online shop also confirm to me that King Tiger is being planned but not sure when the release date will be.
