Off the top of my head, I'd say anything by Hen Long. They have several pieces available.

I second that with Hen Long. I won a 1/16 M26 Pershing on Ebay. Nice looking model buts it's infearier to the 1/16 Tamiya version. It's also 1/4 of the price :!: :!: Anyway, mine wouldn't work and I tried a new battery and other things. It's now a static custom model with the R/C removed. That's my experience with Hen Long. At least with the 21st C tanks, unlike the Hen Long won on Ebay, they are returnable. Just keep the box and receipt and return them to W.M.
BTW, the newer versions of the Panzer IV are built alot better.

You can get a 1/16 WSN T34/85 for under that amount made by Trumpeter.

I just got my T34/85 off eBay for about $55 shipped. I haven't had time to run it much, but it seems sturdier than my Panzer. Also has the barrel recoil when you fire it. Probably not the most accurate feature, but I kinda like it.

Now if my Panzer was still in one piece for the two to go at it. :roll:
