Well this is sure to get some cages riled.
As you all know I have been saying that you can build a better than tamiya tank for less money.Well I won't say the exact cost on this Tank as it is not mine but one a gentlemean has purchased from Immortal Hobbies.
Taigen Metal Version Tiger 1, Benedini Sound card, Clark board, 3 to 1 Steel Gears, some smaller mods like real recoil ( We used the high tension flash as well ) and a Radio system.
Only major plastic part is the upper deck, everything else is metal.
I can tell everybody that this was indeed less money than a Tamiya, way less time to put together and I believe will stand the test of time and use.
Wether or Not you are a Tamiya lover, you have to say that the bar set by Tamiya is certainly being approached and arguably surpassed. Given the right tools we all could own this tank.
The build itself is not complicated at all.
Take a peek but forgive the video, I am not a photographer. I am a Tanker. If asked for I will post another video with better sound and pictures.

Please be nice, this is not meant to infame an arguement on Tamiya vs all else. It is meant as a "what can be done only"
