What's the quality? More like Heng Long or Haya? Or maybe Tamiya

But most important: what is the retail price?

I just visited https://stplane-tongde.en.made-in-china.com/ and discovered they have a 44 Tank range of models including 5 Sherman based Tanks as well as the 1/16 Centurion which is R/C @ 47.5 cm long x 22.5 cm wide x 19.5 cm high, It has working lights, Smoke, an I/R system as well as BB, The main Gun on this MK5 elevates and it has a speaker with a Plastic driving system, The Turret turns through 320/360 degrees (Make of that what you will?)
But I could not see the price.

[Xiaoshan_Sailor]

Centurion all plastic $85, metal upgrades including track/wheels $181, their fantasy all metal $530. Pending M60 same price.

HL/Haya/Hooben. One nice thing is he doesn't seem to be afraid to use rubber tires or so I have been told. Still waiting to see one of the new samples.

Those are mainly Mato models.

£163 is most affordable if it is a reasonable model with metal track and wheels. Certainly a lot more amenable to my pocketbook than Tamiyas £1000 +
If the upgrade market latch on to this it could be a winner.
I wonder if Dave @ www.forgebeartanks.com will stock them?

It’s probably copied from the Tamiya centurion for measurements
As it roughly looks like it

Where do you think Heng Long got their Tiger 1 dimensions ?

I did wonder about that, therefore, does Tamiya have the turret rotation in the wrong place, and wrong angles on the front armour, along with two antenna tubes, etc, etc, so on and so forth?
