It should be taken back, if possible. :wtf:
Yes, I've initiated the return process -- the package has already been picked up for shipping back to the store. You are right, I was curious that the styrofoam had so much damage, but the external packaging (while not pristine) did not have as much.

A shame since I got my Tiger from them (I am happy with my Tiger!) and they actually have the best prices that I've seen (in Asia, at least). I even planned to buy more tanks from them. :'(

But when you buy a set of tools to get them out, be aware that there are 2 different ones available:
1. metric size
2. inches.

It's built in Asia , it's metric. Theres only one country still insisting on using feet and inches.
Don't get your panties in a bunch , we still got hand weapons and the fifty!

I also updated my Leopard tank. I preferred the M1, but the M1's turret seemed smaller than the Leopard's, so I chose the Henglong 2A6.

So what all do you have going on with the turret? Some of it I can tell, some of it seems unfamiliar (metal tube with servo connected by wires).

Also
What stabilizer unit are you using?
