Seen this at tankzone website. Metal hull,barrell,wheels,suspension,tracks,grills,lights etc etc. I added the price of the upgrades as listed in the spec and I worked out that the upgrades alone would cost upwards of £400 and that is not including the tank itself.

I am thinking of ordering one and putting an El-Mod inside. The only thing that worries me is that Tankzone are not usually the cheapest supplier by a long way but this seems like a very good deal.

Am I missing something obvious or is this really a good deal ?

I would be interested to hear what you lot think as I am definately thinking of placing an order.

cheers
Glyn

P.S. How much do you think this beast must weigh? do i need to get the floors reinforced at home ;)

Thanks guys
just checked stock at tank zone and they have the desert yellow version in stock for imediate dispatch. Think I am going to go with That because it works out a bit cheaper because of the free postage. The elmod one is excellent value !! I am going to put el mod into mine but I already have a set here.

I got my all metal upgraded Tiger from Tank Zone, like you say when you add up all the parts its like getting the tank for free and with free P&P within the UK it makes it even more of a good buy, i contacted Tank Zone and said i did'nt need the battery they included in the package so he said i could have £20 worth of further upgrades instead ;D also the Tank was delivered within 4 days of checking out, so their not all bad all of the time ;)
