1/6 Scale Abrams Tank

Post by Saxondog »

I got this today in a product alert from Alilbaba. Not sure if this is new or repackaged old stock. Still a 1/6 scale tank for under 200.00 seems like a bargain? But quality issues could make this Junk. Sax

They are offering free shipping to the US, so total cost is 168.42us? I know nothing about modern armor, perhaps someone with more knowledge could verify that quality or lack off quality?

It's not 1/6th scale, this is exactly the same tank that I started with. Stripped it to the bare bones and rebuilt it near enough from scratch.

It is actually 1/12th scale or near enough and should be available for around $60, so someone out there is having a laugh.

Thanks for the information,it seems this entire add is bogus. I certainly am not considering this as a purchase, but was curious about their claim of 1/6 scale.

Sax, ps lIke your site,cheers

Looking at the pics of the tank, in relation to the battery pack and floor tiles, this is probably a typo, and should be 1:16
Hey man....I just ride 'em, I dunno what makes 'em work.
Woof woof woof !
