I've a few plug and fly (I guess that should be drive) tanks for sale within your budget (including a tiger)

M4A3 with metal turret, is this a first with this shape turret? Or is that a Taigen turret added on?

Taigen turret on an hl pro base sold at a ludicrous price...

Looks like plastic bogies too.

THAT is funny.

"Andrew" at HAYA helped me into tanks with lots of advice and bargain prices. Dave and Julie at Forgebear are both absolute stars when it comes to finding and getting what you want, getting it to you and at a good price. Their advice in both pre and after sales is legendary.

Nitotek sent me the wrong tank but agreed a huge discount rather than pay to collect it (still poor) but Tankzone did do the lowest price on a Torro tank l wanted. Bought it, got a message to say they were away for 2 weeks, did l want a full refund or wait and get 10% off. (Nicely sorted).

Price DOES matter - we are not all rich - but good service is important too. For me Forgebear is always my first point of call.

Thanks for the info..

Personally I would check out Dave and Julie of forgebear, and Andrew at Haya Ltd before anyone else. With Haya, make sure you're looking at the price including VAT.

Personally I find them cheaper, and second to none re after sales service. And, with both, if you don't see what you want, send them an email and ask if they can get it.

Some people have used tank zone successfully, but their after sales service has had a lot to be desired from time to time.

Edit: as for a Tiger 1, I would take a serious look at the Taigen ones.

Cheers for the info, will take a look at your links, Nick

Me, I would not touch them with a bargepole,
It is your choice But as long as Dave

is cheaper and provides a far better service why would anyone go elsewhere ?
Indeed as you live in Cambridgeshire you can meet him at the regular meeting of the Grantham Light Armoured at Great Gonerby, if you tell him what you want in advance whether it is Spares or complete tanks he and Julie will bring them along.

Good advice, thanks.

Many thanks, will take a look.
