Default Mato M4A1

I would like to purchase a Mato M4A1. I see a seller on eBay is listing one. He goes by I-love-porcelian-flower. However, the photo's he is showing appears to be an A3 with the 76mm gun. (no round upper hull) Has anyone purchased one of these from him? Is it the A3 or A1?

Joe, there was just a thread about this seller on RCTW. Did you see that one? I think a guy ordered from there so he might have good intel.

Dont trust it. Last year i bought one as mentioned and recieved a henglong m4a3 105 tank. The seller thought one was like the other and I had to dispute with them.
Then they kept the listing as m4a1 but changed the picture to the henglong, after returning my payment and shipping the tank back.

Thanks Rich, that's what I was afraid of. I sent him an email asking about the upper hull, here is his response. Hi my friend, you are a real tank hobbyist, this is a round turret!

I will truly pass on this.

Don't know if the postage will make it too expensive but this guy in the UK is good-

They don't have any electronics or controller.

Thank you for the link. I'll write him and see what he has to say.
