1/72 scale RC tanks

Post by Craigm1992 »

Hello all

I was just wondering, on ebay and other bits I had seen examples of Walterson 1/72 rc tanks such as the Challenger and T72.

I was just wondering if any of you guys on this forum had bought an RC tank of this scale before and had any information as I was considering buying one for a wee toy. {My main Heng Long 1/16 Tiger 1 is the big serious project :D }

Haven't got one, but the range is now 14 tanks, if you allow for the various colour schemes. The latest are a Tiger in 4 different guises, from early to late plus one in transportation mode, plus a British Sherman with 105mm howitzer and a British Firefly.

Thanks for the reply, I didn't know there were that many available. Is there a good store to get them from or is it just a case of browsing the web?

The leaflet I got with all the models came from Welsh Dragon Models. They are a recommended supplier and are run by Steve, who is a member here. Worth giving them a try.http://www.welshdragonmodels.co.uk/

At present, he has 4 tanks listed @ £39.99 each, plus P & P I expect. He also operates a shop on ebay, although not everything is listed there.

If you're in the US you can get them from Imex, who carries them. Try here

http://www.imex-model.com/category/245/ ... Tanks.html

and you'll see right now they have four models available. Want me to ask Erik how much for shipping to the UK? Where the heck are you, anyway, Craig?
