Looks like a great model, some serious work put into it, bit pricy, but nice none the less

Certainly is pricey considering it is not motorized.

i like the big 1s a little thought it doesnt need to be fork lifts
a few folding ramps a 4x4 or a trailer thats job done on moving them to A and B
but totally agree its too dear

Nothing wrong with 1/8th scale. You can just about lift in on and off the workbench by yourself, even with the 22ah battery in it.
My Pershing is okay to lift down on my own.

Hi,
I agree with Storky. My (fibreglass) Panther is liftable by one person, normally travels in my medium sized esate but will even fit in the boot of my wifes MX5 if I take the turret off. This takes about 10 seconds to lift and 30 seconds to fit. I was stingy and made a simple ramp out of old bits of decking. It normally lives in the conservatory, but if it needs maintenance my workshop is upstairs so I normally wait till the wife goes out and drive it up there.
With gearboxes and batteries this one is going to be around 170lbs though. Wonder if its one of the Chinese kits.
By the time its up and running it won't be a cheap model
