The mechanics / drive train seems to be the same as the 4x4 'military truck' that everyone on this forum seems to have 7 of by now.

Over on RCU the guy from Imex said the elephant is indeed the hooben and the T-72 is Heng Long. He said the schwimmwagen is most likely Metal Origins, in which case Imex won't carry them. I hope the schwimmwagen is at least halfway decent, as that's one that's been on my want list right from the very start. Now for a meillerwagen convoy with actual launching V-2!! Bwahahahahaha!! @) @)

What I hope is that it's half-way affordable. And by that I mean $100 or less. 'Metal Origins' doesn't sound very cheap ...

Here's the thread from RCU, you don't have to be a member to read it, so now you can see what I saw. Erik's is the third post down. I said the same thing - A T72 from Heng Long?, but that's what Erik said.

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-tank ... 019-a.html

If the schwimmwagen is even halfway decent, and if it has servos for raising and lowering the prop and it really functions in water, I'm thinking somewhere in the $300 to $400 USD range. Hopefully I'm way off and it will be much less, but I won't be shocked if it goes as high as $500. Look at what they're getting for the Puma, even though it's a lot bigger.

And I've waited a long time for a schwimmwagen, so I already told Erik if Imex carries them I want at least two! @)

They do have a great selection of parts in that catalog, too, what they really need is a U.S. warehouse! I'm wondering what ordering from that catalog will be like, if the prices will be decent and the shipping timely.

The T72 will also be very interesting. I'm not a huge fan of Russian armor, but there are few that should be in any collection, so I will eventually get a JS-2 and a T-55. Taigen now has the JS-2, now all I need is a better T-55 than the Hooben kit.
