Looks great! I see that this kit is using the torsion bar suspension, will you provide the torsion bars and suspension arms with the kit? Alternatively, will there be a version which uses the Heng Long suspension (with the suspension arms from the HL Panther for example)?

Hi

jes. The suspension Parts are able to order from me too.
a henglong version would be posible too. But both Version prices would be close together, so a hl version do not made much sense i think or ?

What will the cost of this kit be complete? Will it be appreciably less than the Tamiya?

Moin

this is a good question.
Thats mostly up to the custumers wisches.

if you take the al inclusive paket with metal roadweels, metal tracks, elmod Electronic and all the lidell stuff. The complet price will be easyly reach a tamiya kit price.

the point is you are totaly free in what components you going to use.
And of corse the Material.

so if you have alot of parts alredy at home. Maybe a old lowerhull of the leopard from ebay. You should be able to save a lot of money.

thats the key idee behind it.

It's nice to see that you'll be offering the parts separately! What will be the price for just the lower hull + wheels + suspension arms (with torsion bars) for example? I might pick up one of these and scratchbuild a 1A5 turret on top
