I've been having a vey nice rapport with the seller on AliExpress who had the Heng Long factory actually side-grade a Stug III from TK7.0 to TK6.0. As a result of that she has relayed my opinions on the TK7.0 sound options, and today she shared a bunch of pictures with me from a visit they did yesterday with the Heng Long factory. It's from their reception area (no pics from the factory floor... trade secrets) but still nice to see.

Oh no are they more pantigers! Or have they stopped making them now?

Their reception area is really nice and seems like they actually give a crap about producing decent products.

First photo is recent, second is from 27MHz era ;) But they will produce infamous Pantigers until molds will live.

I hope they listen to suggestions from their buyers like the sound options and increased model accuracy

I missed out on a Tequila Thompson SMG years ago in Canada, but I did get a Tequila '45 ACP pistol in the same trip from Oklahoma :shifty:

I would not get an H/L Abrams, but I will get a KV-2 once they are a bit more wide spread.
Right or wrong, they are having a go, which is more than can be said for other makers.
Achievable cost, a ready market for upgrades & spares, plus it uses an existing base.(Kv-1)
I am surprised that they have not gone StuG IV as they have a really good III and a Pz IV base.

I would not have got into the hobby if it weren't for H/L, so I'm glad they are still swinging & getting stuff to market.

What's wrong with the Abrams? Mine was an impulse buy and it's the tank that got me into the hobby however since then I've seen so many more HL models I would rather work on. I will weather it a bit and it can be the tank my kids use when we do tank battles lol.

Nothing at all, just not my flavour ;)
What I mean is, they have something for everyone, and long may that continue.
