It is remote control. Turret and all. Even the over exaggerated gun blast. Lol. 1/18 sounds about right. Image

Just need someone that has a 16th scale one more at hand than mine for a size comparison.

Oh, it's RC, does it not have a makers name on it?

New toy millennium. Out of China. Who knows if there scale is even correct. I only paid $29.99 for the thing which was a surprise. Only saw them that one year.

Well, the real one is 5.92 meters long, that's just shy of 13 inches in 18th, just over 14.5 inches in 16th.

Well if I can ever figure out how to make the road wheels work. I would. Much less put the energy into it. The plastic is pretty brittle.

Sadly 16th parts would be a tad big for it.

Should be a tad wider than 6.25 inches wide in 18 th, just a tad over 7 inches in 16th

Well the wheels do have a metal axle. Unfortunately I need to be careful of things on the bottom. I will probably just make it a shelf queen. It does look good!

On the Abrams, I remember I ran it into a step at speed, and the shock broke off the front hull mounting posts on the chassis. I ended up using the body clips and a rubber band looped through the upper hull down through the holes in the lower where the posts used to be, and back up to the other side to hold the upper on.

Ok. So if I tear the M1 apart will I find a makers mark somewhere? I can't imagine an importer has the only name on it.

Good afternoon,
The Pz IV came in several different paint schemes and unit markings and was advertised as 1/18 on the box as I recall. It's visually pretty but would require a lot of work and parts to take from Toy to RC.
regards,
Painless
