So did you check how much are these guys selling their tanks? and what's their stock setup?

Jerry, do you know who's making that KT?

Wow,

That is a great price and an awesome looking machine, that is tempting to dish out the cash for it! Shipping is probably $ 200 euros or something, that seems too good to be true! Keep us posted if anyone can find out some details, like is this for real?

Status: offline 		Almost complete translation... you gotta love the internet!

Tiger I in complete metal execution (aluminum) on a scale 1:16 (the Tamiya execution copied). The structure is finished to some small details, must be refined however after own conceptions. The aluminum surfaces are (Schleifspuren at the treatment of welding seams), electric motors and Tamiya DMD Controll unit are attached still in an unfinished way likewise like trip automatic controllers and RC von Futaba, the electrical motors are inserted. Dimensions as with the Tamiya variant. The Tamiya Full option kit can be re-tooled at any time. When desired I send gladly more pictures.
With the tiger it hamdelt itself around an absolute unique piece, detailfaithful reproduction in outstanding processing.
Like always, there private auction, no warranty, guarantee or cancelling.
Much fun with offer

Jerry, I hear there is a soon to be a new 1/10 Hetzer on the market. VIERM Hetzer I can't open the website due to China's Great Firewall but thought I'd pass it along to see what you may know of these folks.
