I think they are a different dealer than OP bought his tank from. Anyway I buy all my Torros from Dom at rctank.de. He's the best to deal with

None of my Torro/Taigen tanks have ever shown up looking like that.

Looks like they offer several more with the same BB/barrel smoke option. I would just contact them since they show a minor proliferation of tanks offered by them with the same features-

I was looking for any Torro dealer with the same BB/Barrel Smoke option.

Shipping would be horrific for me from him on a Torro tank, (About $140. to ship). I already try to push the limit with his DHL $25 flat fee sometimes for smaller stuff. To ship the same item within the states is between $39-$55 privately. But both MotionRC and Taigen ship for free for over $100 purchase.

I always email Dom for a quote with the 19% VAT removed. That normally covers the shipping. You do a PayPal transfer to him rather than using the site. He'll generally do it for anything over €100 so I just combine my small stuff orders. But for small stuff he'll normally do the €10 DHL option. Axel's unfortunately won't budge from their minimum €40 DHL shipping on their small stuff. I can see using Motion if you live in the US but living in Canada between their prices in USD, shipping and duty they are way more expensive for me in Canada. IMEX/Taigen won't ship tanks to Canada

I had to spend 400$ to get the tank shipped....... having the VAT removed would've been so much better.
