Kyle ask different people and you will get so many different answers as to who ,where and what to buy, my best advice would be to try and get to a local meet if there are any near you and have a look at the different options out there !!.as for me I have Tamiya ,Heng Long and Torro but having 18 I like and dislike things about some but upgrade slowly. Depending on budget and what you plan to do with them is a big factor ? I.e. upgrades. But some sound advice was given before check out the vendors on the blacklist but at the end of the day Kyle your the man forking out your hard earned pennies .sorry it's not much help but we all have different opinions on these forums
Torro King Tiger , Torro KV-2 , Torro M-16 half track , 2xTaigen Tigers
HL King Tiger , HL KV-1 , HL Tiger , HL Bulldog , HL Pershing , HL Sherman

Well I can help narrow it down as most of the places I've been looking are all on the black list lol. As for a local meet there isn't one, not that I have yet found, I'm after something cheap and cheerful and as I had a Heng Long before I will probably stick to that range for now, my budget will be between £100 - £120. As for what to do with..that's an easy one..I'mma gonna play tanks!

I'm thinking of some upgrades but can't see myself going the whole nine yards, I've recently spent £1,000 and more building a brewery so SWMBO won't stand much more lol

And for asking different people that is easily solved, I'm asking you :)

KYLE, I no nothing about PRO-MODELS which means nothing but if you are after a new cheap Heng Long Tiger 1 from a reputable dealer I would suggest you go to www.howesmodels.co.uk
They are a Toyshop with a store in Oxfordshire and they will happily sell you a Barbie doll or a Heng Long tank, they are cheap and honest, but do make sure it is complete as they sell damaged Tanks on mark down, which are clearly indicated in the advert, if you decide you wish to upgrade your Tiger that is when you go back to the recommended dealers list, but it is unlikely you would get a cheaper Tiger than from Howes. Good luck, shaun
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:
