The light weathering job is very nice. Also the figures are amazingly detailed...is there any way you can show pictures of the inside? I'm curious how these are different from heng long.

Hi marc, its a heng long tank in partnership with waltersons which give it a branding makeover basically. You get a nice waltersons carry bag, a higher spec battery and the custom
body finish. everything like the carry bag, the battery and tx set are all same as hl but badged up as waltersons. When i took it apart to fit all the metal upgrades i found build quality was definitely hl standard.The rx 18 system was hl, all parts were standard hl too. i found also the two internal posts mid section for securing hull to deck had been broken during assembly. The instructions were done by waltersons though, much better quality, not in chinglish and with a good history of the tank. Im still happy with it , Its a big tank with good custom paint for the money i paid, and a great basis to upgrade.

Hi All,

Just a quick note to say my figures arrived yesterday, so ordered late on 6/4 delivered to the UK 14/4. Pretty good service, all brand new and boxed as described. :D :D :D

I will be doing some repainting and detailing on these over the next few days, have to say though I am very impressed with the basic figures out of the box. Good basic detailing and poses and the camo is quite nicely done, bargain at £12 a piece. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Hi tiger tiger,

I got the 3 crew members and the sitting Wittman figure from fourzerofive on eBay. Like I said too good to miss out on at that price. Just finished painting the faces and hands, the moulding is really good. Will do some more on them tomorrow. I want more of a mix in the uniform types.

There is a 4th crew figure in the series too, sitting without a cap, so I am on the look out for one of these too. Can only find them in Europe at the moment and they are £20, mind you I think they are good at that price to be fare.
