[QUOTE=Tanque;12269745]Respectfully, I disagree with the weight issues. They're tanks, they're supposed to be heavy. They aren't ur Uncle Bobby Roy's Dodge pickup...

I like slow and heavy, dislike light and 'floaty'; I'd have mine as heavy as possible and use 10:1 gearboxes if they were available. Yeah I know moderns are fast but I'm also not a fan of jack rabbit driving.....haven't run an all plastic model since Bandai's panzer Iv...

I totally agree, you only have to see a metal hulled, metal turret, metal tracked, Tiger 1 moving across the back garden then watch an all plastic Panzer 4 on the same ground,

The Tiger looks like a Heavy Tank should but the Plastic PZ4 looks more like a football as it bounces along,
If you want to fight your Tank in competition then go plastic BUT if you want realism you have to go Metal.
