My local WM has about 20+ and are marked down to $150, I'm thinking about getting one if it falls to $100 or less. How are they overall? Fast? and are they 4WD? Are they as fun as the Stuart? Even though they are'nt a tank?

As a third choice, don't get itchy to spend your money. You can wait for a while, a couple of 1/6 customizers are talking about a White Half-track for about the same money. See what they do in six months, one of the two will have one out by then. With all the accessories that have come out for the ...

Re: How do you display your aircraft?

How do you display your 1:18 aircraft? From the size of them I suppose putting them on a wall shelf or a bookcase shelf is out of the question. And what's the best way to hang them from the ceiling?

What year/model M5 did 21st use for their R/C

What year or model did 21st century use for making of this tank. I'm thinking about repainting and customizing it for historical accuracy. Something in the ETO. Any inside?

I did'nt want to throw this in w/ the R/C panzer/m113 thread and it get lose. But since I got the RC panzer and how fun it is. Are there any other good R/C tanks to buy?

Too bad you had those serious defects with your Panzer. Hopefully the others in the batch you got it from aren't that way as well. That is a cool scheme, however! I'm rather surprised to see that there is already an S2 version of the RC Panzer out there. If you get one that works, it is well worth ...

I agree w/ most of you guys, for $50 its fun, and i missed the original non-R/C version. So finding this was a good deal. But here is a HEADS UP. I bought it this evening, get it home and look what is waiting for me when I get it out of the box. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/corvette01/DSC0...

With all the talk of new stuff showing up at WM, I figured to recon a few stores and try to cash in. Well I went to 3 WM and all they had was the 190 :x Each store had 4-6 of them. :roll: Nothing else. No figures, armour or anything.

I know its not 1:18, but it a nice overview of the 104, especially when it was used in German, and nicknamed the "Widowmaker" and a rock group even made a few songs over it :shock:
