Well my Tamiya Tiger I was completed over a month ago (sorry I don't have a camera to show) and I've got the itch to get another Tamiya Tank. I've got the money to order a Sherman right now or I can wait a few weeks and get the KT. I like the KT but I'd have to get an airbrush and paint (I've never used an airbrush before). Other reasons I like the KT is the turret rotation speed compared to a Tiger I, the size, upgrades, recoil and the sound of the Maybach engines! But I would have to spend an extra $350-450 dollars (For Spektrum DX6, airbrush/paint and a couple upgrades). Total cost around $1000.
Now on the other hand the Sherman is about $100 cheaper (on ebay with shipping included) and I'd only need the Spektrum DX6, upgrade the barrel to 76mm and spay cans....primer and OD green. What I don't really like about the Sherman is no recoil (I know I know I'm being picky). I've read here that the Sherman is easy to build and reliable. Total cost is around $750.
So please give me your choices/opinions/experience on both tanks.

Thank you,
