It's about the size of a Chaffee so I hope the prices will be comparable.

I see a major disconnect there though. The Coolbank tanks are way more detailed than the TongDE ones. The Coolbank Crusader has a crisp molding while my TongDE tanks are much softer detail wise. The 3D renders I've seen on the Coolbank FB page look much better than the TongDE pics. I just posted the question to the Coolbank page to see if they can straighten out the question as to whether or not they are the same.

That's right, but in Stuart's case the details are not so crisp. It's a strange situation. There's a promotion for Tongde products on the Coolbank fanpage ;)

Stuart was the first one out, and was designed with M8 in mind too.
