Oh Dear i have just seen the name arkmodel again, or is it arkmodel or twin horse or hooben, i have just got into tanks again alongside my other hobby of rc warships, the name arkmodel/twin horse/hooben pops up often on warship forums and its not usually good, not about the products the products seem excellent when folks get them, its more about poor service, people paying deposits for models that are not released yet

Hi,

I agree with madrob. Ark/Hooben, you badly need to get your act together, not only with the T55 but also with your marine models.

If the Hooben elephant is not out, why does Asiatm supply tracks and wheels?

Hi They have also started making Tracks for the Famo and a chassis also tracks for 251halftrack ,It seems strange that there making all these tracks with no obvious model out there to put them on ,they must know something we dont about who is going to release these,cant see them making these for scratch builders there arnt that many around,but there are alot who like to upgrade.

hi guys. i have been speaking to momji at hooben in the last few days as they have recently supplied me with some t55s in kit form. i am just waiting on a couple of missing parts and a couple of sprues coming through to me, which hope to have by end of may ish. he tells me that they not yet started work on the elefant. they have done a mock up, but it's not in production. i have asked him to keep me up to date on any developments. cheers dave.

Re: Hooben Elefant? DO NOT BUY FROM HOOBNS

DO NOT BOTHER

do not buy form hoobens

THERE ARE SO MANY FXXKed OFF

t-55 owners out there that do not have complete kits

after 5 months of waiting for parts ... and it seems that not one kit has the same parts missing

that is thay all have different parts missing

with hoobens .. promissing far to many times for deliver of the missing parts to so many folk and not delivering

just all you get is too many excuses if thay bother replying to emails ...

DO NOT BUY FROM HOOBENS
