Heng Long all metal Tiger 1 in 1/8 scale..

[43rdRecceReg]

HWSNBN in Hawaii just drew my attention to the forthcoming HL All metal Tiger 1 in 1/8 (and 1/6 too? ) featuring on Ebay.com for $11,000...no less. Maybe the mists of rumour are clearing from this so far mythical beast. I just checked and Tankzone (yes, it's a controversial source, I know) are suggesting that this 62 kilo monster is about ready for shipping. Apparently, it will fire 8mm
'laser guided' BBs, and be produced in tantalising CNC cut alloys. Just to whet the appetite.
Here's a pic:

Fearful symmetry..

If it performs anything like this Chally, then I might even sell my car..a precious guitar or two,,,and even more, to get one

For you guys who live in Europe, especially The UK, I think your better choice should be Armortek who produce much many models then just Tiger 1. Their current product on sales is Panther A and quoted at £4794 + £179 for shipping in Region 1 (I always have to copy/paste when I wanna type £ symbol)

I intentionally found them on Chinese website and I found that videos about Metalbox tanks are extremely rare even on Chinese websites. Wonder how these guys are doing their business. I downloaded them and then uploaded to YouTube.

Apparently it's cause they sell their tanks for $11,000 each!

The tanks have no sound unit ?

[SteelBird]

I think they are in public area so not convenient to turn on sound. Their website says they have.

Are they fitted with smoke units too ?
