Hi, and welcome. First, what country are you in?
If you want the M26, definitely do as Chase advises and call Erik, but that's really just best if you're in the US or Canada.
I have the Imex/Taigen M26 Pershing and it's a great tank right out of the box, and the possibilities for mods and detailing are endless. Given the choice between the Heng Long and the Imex/Taigen I'll take the Imex every time.
