The Heng Long Home site,Check it out the complete line up. But so far no word from the CEO on the Panther II other than reply will be posted concerning the Panther II tank? As soon as I have any information I will pass it on, personally the absence of British Armor and that question would be of more interest.
Yet from my point of view,the allies complete line should be produced prior to more modern armor,just need to even the playing field a bit before jumping a few wars ahead. My 2c

one thing that is odd with all this "hype" is that the porsche k/t is still available ?
i thought that wasnt staying on the market till waltersons had got there share out?
some brit armour would be good but i cant see it anytime soon or ever
we will have to rely on paul (septons) cracking churchill scratchbuild

Is it me or is this just a rubbish Photoshop/model build to get our chins wagging? Even for a what if there are huge errors that I can't see anyone at Heng Long or anywhere else making.
Great fun whoever did it though.

Bottom line with this little section of the RC hobby growing like it is you are more likley to see odd ball stuff like this, than something practicle. The Walterson's KT being an example.. There was HUGE hype then it folded when the straight HL hit Mato ect.. Why? because it was over done in all the wrong areas to play on the hype, when the HL was straight forward. I saw this happen in RC Rock Crawling (US version of trials) it blew up and everyone came crawling (sorry for the pun ) out of the woodwork with the "ultimate" this or "premium that. Flat out, HL would make a killing (or anyone smart) with kicking out a Brit WW2 tank. And bet your bottom dollar it would'nt matter what it was, it would sell like mad..
