You're right, there are many inaccuracies, but it's one hell of a model for £40. I'll get round to sorting them out soon.

I took mine to my radio club this evening and both all the elderlies and the 10 year old didn't want to let go of it. We had competitions to see who could shoot the polystyrene cup, then ran over it a few times. Climbed all the mud hills. Great fun. When you're having as much fun as that you don't even care about the inaccuracies. I think models being accurate is just for when they're at home or on display, not for when you're playing with them :-))

I think the 'mistakes' were intentional, the HL is a straight copy of the Tamiya, that was their way of saying there were plenty of differences so it wasnt a copy. I think theyre great for the money, pity they dont do a T-34, I think the only way is convert another less well equipped offerings.

WishList = A T-34, Sherman FireFly and a King Tiger.    :}

You're most likely right.

My wishlist is a Challenger 2 and some form of amphibious AFV. It would be great to convert an APV to proper radio gear O0

Aye....yer big 1/6th scale girlies look great Wullie, wish I was closer to have a wee look.

I would love to have one, but very expensive and would probably have to forego other toys, maybe even sell some boats.

Just wish we had a dried summer up here, I was loooking forward to getting some more work done on a stand-off scale Tiger Im doing.

Thanks for the links Richard. I assume the Tiger is the most popular going by the amount of detail bits for it. I also like the Bulldog tank but doesn't seem to be many add ons for that!

I see Hobby Engine do a M1 Abrams Battle Tank anyone any experience with these?

Keep an eye on eBay.  They generally go pretty cheap but if you're lucky you could pick up a real bargain.  I have just bought one second hand but in perfect condition and in it's box.  It had metal tracks and gearboxes, metal cupola, speed control, smoke and sound, zimmerit, brass etch engine grilles and all for £100.00.  Very pleased and the metal tracks look fantastic going over rough ground.  It's going to get some detail and a weathering job when I can stop playing in the garden with it!!

The quality of early Heng Long products was very dodgy, improved no end now. I have a Pershing, the Grandchildren love it, as I do,lots of faults in detail (Pershings were rough cast hulls, not smooth, but who cares!!) I took the Yank  Commander out and with some filler and paint turned him into a Brit, complete with Beret and Tank Regiment badge! Somewhere ,sometime ,maybe some Brits drove Pershings! When equipped with the British 17 pdr gun, they were "Tiger Killers," and were very effective, had a long history, served in Korean War as well.
  If you want 1\16th scale bits and bobs for them, try Imperial Models here in Germany, they have loads!! Even do an exchange service for Gearboxes etc. Speak English, worth a try!

Henlong Jagdpanthers are very good value for money now,you can get an all singing and dancing version for £79 +postage,compared to a £120 this time last year,the same goes for the Stug and the Panzer111 and the 1V,..The Mattoro Kingtiger is another good buy,then there,s the 1/24 VS tanks,, Forces of Valour are doing the 1/24 scale in Rc also,with the Sherman and Tiger
