I have a Taigen full metal Tiger I. It weights in about 17-18 lbs stock. It's great for realistic moves as the weight adds to the momentum in the turns and speed. I have the early version with IR, the paint job is nice and customer service from Erik at IMEX is awesome. Hope this helps a little, I'm really happy with mine and am looking forward to getting the full metal King Tiger when it's released. Enjoy!
