Hi Stewart
Can i throw in a sideways suggestion its a 1/16 tiger 1 that fits into your price range and its not grey

https://www.wonderlandmodels.com/produc ... ank-24ghz/

Its the wsn/torro tiger 1 ive never owned 1 but there are a few on the forum who have so perhaps they could recommend it or not.

John thank you for showing me that there are other colours;) I just need a better picture or YouTube video thanks for the side ways update

Cannedheat that's good to know I'm not to fussed ref smoke my UP OGauge Challenger train uses chocolate smoke do you have a short or long video of the one that you have it would be nice to see one in action rather than just buying the tank and not being happy with it if you get my drift Sir

I'm still thinking about the 2 on evilbay there both working so it says
I'm thinking of spares
Stewart

john 1970 and cannedheat thank you for your help i'm a bad speller so it's much appreciated I'll have a look

Stewart

could that be a differint one to the one that is for sale I thought that it did not have full recoil just the barrel went in and out I like it very much

I think the newer 1's are 2.4ghz but canned is right heng long are more popular and have a lot more spares and upgrades available. Heng long did use to make a brown tiger 1 but the trouble is finding 1

Stewart Hi,
Forgive me but I am slightly puzzled about your attitude to the paint finish on the Tanks you have seen,
Almost none of the Tanks on sale have an accurate paint finish,
This raises some points of importance to me. I have owned and built many Tanks from different sources and without exception I have repainted them all,
Tank building, depending on how far you want to go, can be challenging, but Painting is the easier side of the hobby and it has the unbeatable advantage of being YOUR Tank when you have finished,
There are many sources of reference if accuracy is your aim.
The only important thing to do is you must first clean the whole Tank with Acrylic Thinners using a lint free cloth, Then as with any thing else, you mask those things that cannot be removed,
If it is a Heng Long Tank all the external tools simply POP off, then using a hairy stick or a rattle can or an Airbrush you apply a primer then a topcoat or two. all the time reminding yourself that most Tanks were painted in the field by the Tank crew using rags and a yard broom,
Give it a go, after all Acrylic paint is water soluble and can be easily removed if you don't like the finished artwork.
Shaun.
