Maybe it means it has 6 sounds, like engine, turret, gun, etc....

Interesting design, I think it needs more return rollers though..

"Authentic" is a joke. Sounds are not too bad, but it runs like a very early HL. MG and whatever mounted in the turret are anything but realistic. Interesting toy. That last move probably killed the crew.[:@]

I think the sound you hear is just dubbed in. Run away from this thing.

Judging by the pictures they seem to be called "Tank Household" (go figure.....). Their 1:20 Leopard seems to share the same running gear as the TIger (and probably the T-34 and the M60they also appear to make).

Got to wonder how they make a profit at all given the preponderence of Heng Long .......

Saw this model on evilbay selling for about 80USD. Looks like a cross between a Pershing and Tiger and does little service to both!
