Small Scale Military Headquarters

Tamiya steps up it's R/C line w/ the new Panther Ausf.G , item # 56022 / now a FULL OPTION kit ! ... =

... and don't let the price scare you either. You can get it @ $400.oo or $500.oo cheaper through your local R/C shop.

GR8 Panther, looks really super.

At $1,226 for a kit is a little rich for me even if the kit includes pre-assembled gear box and tracks.

For that kind of money, I want, at the least, to take it out of the box and BLAM, it's ready for play.

TTT

I also found out that Tamiya is about to introduce a JAGDPANTHER w/ FULL OPTION ! , later this year. ... Most likely next year. =

It is possible to buy these FULL OPTION kits alot cheaper than you'd think , say for @ least between $400.oo & $600.oo -

Gosh, and I thought I'd paid way to much for tanks on Evil bay
I saw alot of discontinued items on that price list also. Wonder why ....
Thinking back not too long ago, when I first started the military modeling, I bought up a couple cases of 1:16th M-26 Pershing R/C tanks hoping that they would be close in size to the 1:18th 21Cent. tanks I have, but it's not like the G scale trains where some of the different scales were close in size. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of these 1:16th monsters that don't fit I did take one out and play with it for a while and then started cutting parts off of it for my kitbashed tanks, but what should I do with the others ??? I will keep one for playing with, but the rest are too big. Well, I'll wait the 6 months and perhaps sell 'em here later. After hearing all the problems with selling on Evil bay, I'll avoid that move and keep my 100% positive feedback rating General Blasto

Umm, that price is MSRP. Vendors are selling it at $700.00 or less.

The Heng Long Pershing which I assume you're talking about is slightly larger than the Tamiya Pershing so the scale difference is increased.
