Planning next purchase - which to buy
Posted: Fri May 08, 2020 11:38 am
Now the painting of my Heng Long Sherman is nearly finished, I am giving thought to what my next project will be. Beyond weathering a tank I do not want to be changing lots of things over myself, or giving it a full repaint job.
The Heng Long has the latest v6.0 board and has both IR battle and BB shooting.
Ideally the tank will be a Tiger 1 or one of the Panzers 111 or 4 I am thinking from what I have seen.
Tamiya is beyond my price range but Torro, Taigen etc would be fine.
I think whichever tank I go for MUST have IR battle compatibility with the Sherman. Here I am a bit confused as some people on forums have said Taigens IR system is not compatible with other makes, whereas some have said they are - as mentioned I do not want to be having to open the tank up to change circuitry.
With the Sherman being the basic version non metal, I think the next tank will be more metal based, at least for the suspension and tracks, and probably lower hull as a minimum.
So over to you guys for recommendations, and both any positive or negative comments on the tanks I am considering.
