Feel sorry for Haya now - been done by Tamiya and now this Tongde startup company from China - glad my money went to a Japanese made tank even if they tracks are weak!

Interesting to look back on this thread almost 12 months later. First YouTube reports coming out on the Coolbank/TongDe Centurion are not encouraging - they appear to be using plastic with the strength of cheese. Tanks are arriving with bits broken off in transit, including body posts and gun trunions.

On the flip side, I watched the Haya kit assembly videos produced by Andrew, and the thought that has gone into the assembly/mounting methods is impressive.

My tongde centurion is currently sat in bits while I await a new turret (hopefully). They are shipped with the battery installed inside , which comes lose and causes havoc. Big design flaw, plus I don't like leaving a battery permanently attached
