just kidding. The one i bought off ebay didn't work r/c-wise but i didn't care as i just wanted the model and was happy to pay less for a non working one. The next one i get i may actually put batteries in and drive around.

Regardless, it's quite a nice model; will look big next to your 1/18's so brace yourself but otherwise very nice. There's a winter version out now too. I'm hoping they'll eventually do a /76 version as well so i don't have to build the model kit.

Yeah - I was afraid it would look too big. Oh well, I have so much $hit laying around in various scales it won't matter. I just had to have a large T 34 - have a couple 1/32 but needed a big boy too. Ahhh the wife will be pissed....another scale to start blowing my $ on and add to the clutter.

Just bought the 1/16 T34 from rccommand. Doubt we will see a 1/18th version the way things are going so broke down and went with the 1/16. RCCOMMAND is a top notch outfit that was very helpful. Thanks to aferg also.

I think you're going to be very happy with it. The "assembly" is primarily hull details and that sort of thing if I'm not mistaken, and shouldn't be any big deal at all for any modeler worth his salt. Do post some pics for us when you have the chance.
