Trumpeter T34 & Tiger 1

[JTS]

Hi All

        Started Xmas shopping and got my nephews  the Trumpeter T34/Tiger 1 set for £105 + £9 postage.

They are only 6 and 11 years old and since these don't fire BB's I thought it would be ideal for them,

Looking at the prices some other places are charging I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to get a set for myself?

It's just that in some threads their electics don't seem to be up to it?

I would love to have a T34/76 (it comes as a T34/85) and I am thinking this maybe the easiest way to go about it, also the Tiger 1 is a mid/late version

So learned people of the forum do you think it's worth getting a set and putting it by for when I have more time and gut out the electrics?

I would mention the site I bought it from but I think they have only 2 left and I maybe be going back for another set myself

Once again many thanks for your comments/input

hi jim

yes you are right on the electronics as compared to tamiya and h/long they arent that good but they arent bad either

Great price, I paid £130 for mine. With regards to thier electronics, well youve just got to be lucky im affraid. I originaly had the white T-34 & desert Tiger, after a day the tiger lost drive on one track. I replaced it a week later with another tiger. This had a faulty turret gear box, faulty on/off switch and lost reverse on both tracks. Replaced this one with the green T-34 which has now burnt out its 2nd board. The white T-34 is still going strong. Thats my experience with WSN's any way. Just be careful on grass and inclines, they dont like them much, but indoors and on carpet, there fine

very true luke

i found the on/off switch to be in a real daft place underneath at the front any stones or loose ground would switch it off

jim if your up for a bit of modifying then they are a great tank if not still a good tank just be carefull where you use it

Hi RC

      If you don't mind I will post the link next Friday, I will of decided by then if I am getting another set for myself and if I am correct they only have 2 or 3 sets left (sorry selfish I know!).

I didn't notice they were selling the T34 or Tiger seperately though only in the sets,


They did have HL Tiger 1s (non S&S) for £24 + postage

I got mine from a shop in northhampton, WWW.THEMODELSHOPNORTHAMPTON.COM (I think)

They've got both tigers ( Desert & winter) and both T-34's 9 White & green)on the shelves but for some reason dont show them on the web site (its quite a basic site) Give them an inquiry.
