Very nice tank, wonder how it perform. However, today, I have placed an order for the Mato Panzer III. The deal price was roughly $700 for full package. It will arrive in 10 days.

I hope its better than the Mato Tiger for you :think:

Well, Shaun and others..if you really want a desk queen to catch the gaze of visiting friends, potential suitors...or even just the kids, then you need to get Vickers to make you one of these. I took this Challenger 1 pic at Bovington, but I imagine for a few (hundred) grand, Vickers might be persuaded to offer a sideline in 1/16 scale golden plated tanks. Anyway, this one's a seductive ;) bling thing
:haha:

that's a golden desktop queen! however, I guess it doesn't run. my resource are limited anyway. I did want to buy a Taigen Tiger 1 late production from a website. I sent them an email but never get reply. my best source is China where I have friends who can carry out the deal with reasonable shipping for me (around $20 for my Mato Panzer III).

I planned to buy an all metal lower hull to fit on my Heng Long Leopard 2A6, so far I haven't finished it after nearly a year. I have a CS-TK-16 board which I also bought from China. The board has very great sound and most of you never have accessed to that board either.

This guy from MojeRC (I think he's the shop owner) is unboxing a Mato Panzer III. The differences between his version and the one I'm ordering are:
- Mine is IR version
- Mine is desert yellow
- Mine is 4-channel (the ad was 6-channel before I place order but it turned to 4-channel quickly after the deal was confirmed. Dealer explained that 6-channel is no longer available and the new 4-channel is more quickly and more expensive than the 6-channel [sic]! My friend asked me if I want to cancel the order, however, I said no)
- Mine also use a trolley case rather than a carrying case

Will show you guys when it arrive.
