Taigen Tiger Review?
Has anyone seen a review of these Taigen "Metal"Tigers?
Like this one: http://www.superwings.co.uk/Taigen_A...1_2954905.aspx
because they are very reasonable in price and Iwas wondering just how "metallic"they are?

Hmmmm
Judging by that picture....its a bloody cheap way of getting metal tracks, running gear, hull, and paint job for a way lot less than buying the tabk and all the bits separately?

It is obviously built using Asiatam parts. It also does seem to be a cost effective way to get an HL tank with what I consider a Must have improvement on the HL line.
All these upgrades are packaged in a complete unit, which is by far more practical than buying and installing all the components at varying prices and helps cut down on numerous shipping costs and the inevitable delays we all know happen.

Heres a few links and prices:
http://www.********.it/taigen-advanc...panzer-iv.html 154 euros Panzer IV
http://www.********.nl/taigen-advanc...panzer-iv.html 149 euros Panzer IV
http://www.rcmodelsplus.co.uk/taigen..._panzer_1v.htm 119 pounds ( 133 euros) Panzer IV
http://www.********.ie/taigen-advanc...reen-camo.html Tiger 214 euros
Video of the Taigen Tiger (seems they fixed the annoying popping out of the upper hull lug from the asiatam receiver slot.
Seems to be cheaper to buy the Panzer at least from Britain.

Here's some information on who Taigen is:

Here's a review of the PzIV:
http://rctankhq.com/panzerforum/index.php?topic=2286.0
The PzIV was a bit disappointing to me. It appears that Taigen has access to the same manufacturer as AsiaTam (or is the same manufacturer), but the Taigen PzIVdidn't include all of the same metal upgrades available as AsiaTam has. That said, if someone gets the Taigen Tiger, I'd love to see a review of it. I'm interested mostly as a cheaper way to get the lower hull, center headlight and electronics. The gearboxes are the early AsiaTam 3:1s and the main gun still needs to be corrected. Not to mention that I'd prefer a mid-production with the metal roadwheels with rubber tires on them. Either way, a review would be awesome if you get it.

Well there are some problems with who is the actuall manufacturer. Asiatam is a brand, not a manufacturer. Tiagen is a brand also.
Guess who is the real manufacturer.

I'd love to see the Taigen brand expand since it's prices are much better than AsiaTam (which is the reason that I heard for Heng Long creating the Taigen brand).

RE: Taigen Tiger Review?
Yeah, I'm not sure who actually created the Taigen brand. The HL/Asiatam thing is also not been proved one way or the other, but think about it. The parts are all so similar from brand to brand with most only having slight differences. Do you think they could do this without proper licensing. I don't know. They may have very different laws on the subject that we have. It is all speculation as far as I'm concerned since no one has been able to confirm or deny it.
Doesn't really matter, the point being it is still a good option for someone who wants the bennifit of the upgrades with out going through all the time and work of doing it themselves.
Not everyone is comfortable hacking their tanks apart like I am to upgreade or mod something.
They look pretty good too. Much better than the stock HL paint jobs. That alone can draw many new customers into the hobby.

Reviving an older thread that I found on a search.
I was interested in this due to the steel wheels, zimmerit, later commanders coupala, spare track mounts on the turret and the single headlight.
http://www.********.co.uk/taigen-adv...reen-camo.html
Yes, I inquired and found out today that shipping would be appox. 100 Pounds from the UK (about $157.00 Canadian )

I purchased one of these several months ago. You can buy them confidently through amazon for $259.00 + $28.99 shipping. If your looking for a U.S. supplier, you now have one. Here's the link.

If anyone needs any info on the tank, just ask.
