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.
Not partial to German tanks. Those so far are the only ones I have seen on Ebay. I have wanted to get a Shernan for quite some time but never pulled the trigger on it before. Ultimately, if I go ahead with things I would only want a set of 3-4 tanks. At least one Sherman, German maybe Russian and possibly a modern tank.
I have been looking at the Taigen tanks before and is it better to go with a plastic or metal version? I know about Tamiya and not partial to those,, but they are rated as the best out there on the market. Today just say there was a used one out there and figured I would ask.
As for customizing a tank. I can probably do a few things, but doing a repaint is not possible as I do not have the space or location to do any airbrushing, nor do I have a workspace to make custom parts or other items.
I would need to have someone locally help me out with the design and build.
