It's good if you want to spend that kind of money upfront before you REALLY know if this is for you. Based on the 2 that you looked at you like German Tanks and Tamiya is one of the best, but before you spring for over $300.00 bucks I would REALLY look at Taigens. This Tank is starting at $329.00 + $55.00 shipping and may bid up for more, just my 2 cents, I would go new with Taigen and custom my own if I were spending that kind of money.
