means you have almost everything you need to go ir battling....

Sports exhaust, 'go faster' stripes, extra ammo storage, stereo system, 10 CD multi-changer etc, polished tracks, wheels and sprockets. That sort of thing.

It means metal upgrades, IR system and smoke and sound etc I think.

It meens The lower metal hull, track tensioner , metal drive wheels, bearing,etc, all that sort of stuff..full movement and sound system. Their newer kit they are releasing comes with metal barrel and brass photo etching for extra detail.

I have 3 Full Option Tamiya Tanks, Tiger 1 Early Edition F.O, King Tiger F.O, Panther G Late Version F.O, They all came with metal, but it is up to the individual what other upgrades that one is willing to pay for. The Tiger 1 for instance came without a metal barrel so I spent a far bit on upgrades. (see "Tamiya Tiger 131" post and you will see what upgrades I got)

Thank you guys.

King Tigerman,
Did your King Tiger & Panther Full Option come with metal barrel ?

hi TankLover the King Tiger came with a metal barrel, so I purchased a metal muzzle break, and as for the Panther G it came with a metal barrel but there is an issue with the standard Mantle as the hole for the barrel is too big but a mate in our tank club happened to have a schumo metal mantle for late Panther G. He gave that to me. It saved another headache. I did get a metal muzzle break as well.
I had to install a counter balance weight in the back of the turret of the Panther G as it was front heavy. Tamiya supply a balance weight with the King Tiger kit.

Hope this helps

Thank you.

Which Tamiya tank do you like best in terms of sound effect, movements, controls ? Do they all have the same engine box ?

The cheap ones ..doesn't matter which model they are all very nice.
