Hi, the completed T-55 isn't far away. I'll have a better idea about the others later on.

There's no definitive price for the Hooben's T-55 yet. They seem to be botching the T-55 release, as they are selling them to individual customers, yet they give different prices to different people, AND sometimes, they will change the quote they gave you.

I don't think they're doing it on purpose, but because the electronics issue isn't resolved yet, and Hooben can't decide whether they want to sell these tanks in kit form, ARTR, or RTR, it can get very confusing.

And also, if you do buy the T-55 from them, they'll send all the parts in ziploc bags, inside a diaper box. No joke. They're THAT unprepared.
