It's so rare that i can agree with everyone in a thread,  i do love my tamiyas dearly, but thats why i only have 3 ...because they are Dear!!  i would love to get the full range, even though i am not really into German stuff, (i have had the tam tiger 1 and sold it on, which finaced a sherman) , but HL make tanks that look great straight out of the box, and with a little dressing and maybe a repaint, and moving that damn 50 cal ammo can to where it should be, they look even better, and apart from details such as opening hatches and the odd bit here and there, they can't really be distinguished rom a yard away from good old Tamiya, i love the bulldog and it is my favourite over the pershing and damn close second to the sherman (my first love) but for useanbility and affordability then as long as the retailers dont catch on and start charging stupid money for them, with huge mark ups, ( i seen it done before) then i aim to get a good platoon of tanks to play with, and they will be HL, sure i now know i gotta replace boards and cut hatches if i want them to open, but this is a small...very small price to pay for a collection which apart from when we fire em up and play ,sit on the shelf looking great, i may be wrong, but it wouldn't suprise meif somewhere along the line they weren't linked to tamiya somehow, i mean they are just soooooo close, and any company that big and powerful worth it's salt would have probably got them shut down or sued by by now, anyway i have prattled on long enough, so keep up the good work, and long live the cheap but not crappy hen long dynasty, CC
