Seller's attempt at customization. He wanted to simulate a tarp on the back of the tank. A tarp draped like that wouldn't stay there long. Just another example of stowage/customizations with no thought as to real life.

Oh right a tarpaulin. Thought it was some sort of mud effect.

I did wonder if it was hiding some damage.

Also I've recently spotted on eBay a guy selling standard Heng Long king tigers for £969!!
I read the listing and it's not a full metal one, doesn't even have metal gears/tracks!
Says he's sold 17 so far, criminal

If there are people out there daft enough to be taken in.....

I reckon l could sell one of mine for at least 20 quid less and still make a profit ;)

Quite a lot of eBay sellers put up their prices to a ridiculous amount when they've almost run out of stock to keep the sale active to avoid re-listing. Obviously if someone is mug enough to pay the over inflated price, the seller wins and won't mind re-listing.
