Good morning,
John, thank you very much! That is not a bad price at all. ;o) I have a spare TK-22 set up for the MATO M36-B1. I wonder what the RTR could be delivered for without the MFU and receiver? Thanks again!
regards,
Painless

I think it would be a good seller without the electrics allowing you do fit whatever you choose, I was lucky I bought a few
spare flyskys at a good price, the TX it came with is rubbish and only fit for the bin :thumbdown: the price includes vat,
am I right in saying in the states you can buy it from the uk less vat although the shipping may be expensive.

regards john :wave:

John!
Yessir, no VAT but as Dave from Forgebear always cautions, full scale tanks are expensive to ship. May be time to hit up Ali Express ;o)
regards and thanks again!

When importing don't forget import duty (20%) vat and a handling charge as well which is about £18.00 :thumbdown:

a cheaper alternative to a Tamiya ?the hull/turret are good more refined/detailed than a mato ? the radio seems to work ok on mine ,a bit of trim ? but it did have a funny moment ? just shut it down and restart ?

Bloody nice! I was considering doing something similar to mine since I have a spare Trumpy/WSN T-34/85 that I've been planning to convert as a PLA tank from the Korean War. Would look great alongside each other & I love getting my neighbors worked up over stuff like this.

Heard today that Hooben has their new 1/16 Tiger in production. Zimmerit will be an available option along with metal upgrades once they are ready. After seeing the proto last month, I plan to get one.

Any idea if that Tiger will be more accurate/detailed than HL or others are?

Haven't yet seen the final product but prototype that was on Hooben's conference table I saw looked very close in terms of detail to the Tiger (P) sitting beside it so should be better than HL & expect it to be a smaller version of their 1/10 late Tiger. Feng told a week ago its now in production and soon available.
