So, it is ready!

Looks like the Chinese/Japanese market have it first... according to a post on here they are going to Nuremburg Show to get it into Europe!

I want one!

Hi It looks an interesting kit more like a Tamiya than Heng long,but have they got the electrics sorted out it is supposed to have a Tamiya compatable system inside .


regards pete
If they have sorted the electics out and is cheaper than a Tamiya should sell well ,also if they sell the electrics seperately and they are cheaper than Tamiya DMDs they will sell alot more of these than the tanks.

i wounder if and when it will reach us ..and more to the point ..

I wonder if they will all be delivered in nappy boxes!
Maybe we should give them benefit of the doubt for making us wait - it looks a real quality item.
Can't wait to see the gearboxes/ electronics - if it has sound, would it be right for transplant into the T34/ KV?? - I don't know anything about the engines used in the real thing.

Its supposed to be $400 or around that amount!

I'm seriously tempted but will wait for a UK dealer to announce the sale of them.

It certainly looks very well put together. Plenty of metal exactly where its needed. Has a nice cast effect on the turret aswell.
Looks like it's a must have.

from what i have read on this tank no electrics come with it it requiers you use tamiya electrics and motor units as well

Looks like a torsion bar system and tamiya gears on pg 4. Nice kit, but $400 with no guts might be asking a bit much.
