yep it been around for two years now ... nice looking but needs a refit with upgrade  gearbox and motors ... metal suspension ..with support rails and a must id the metal sprockets and real ideler ... need detail and a good paint job

i think the germans only built 12 of 14 of them .. but last count was some 60 paint jobs ??? odd that as thay seem to be in the paint shop more than in the combat .. lol ....

I don't know if there's a second generation out there (like there seems to be with the King Tiger), but I got mine nearly 18 months ago.
The controls are basically 2 speed non smoke and sound, with the machine gun sound triggered by full left on the left stick (traverse is via a cam controlled by full right on the left stick).
The battery is small at 1500mAh and it has a weird 3rd lead - not sure what that one is for ???
The paint is glossy and the stickers are worse, but don't let me put you off ;)
The good news is that they fit on the Asistam Tiger chassis, so there is hope for mine yet... ;D ;D ;D

Yep, thats what I have in mind for mine! ;D ;D ;D
I had a link to another 1st class example but it seems to be broken :(

Its not a bad tank by any means, but it really does need the original electronics ripping out and replacing with HL stuff before its more than just a toy :)
