Hello Bigkilla, Building a 1/16 Tamiya RC Tank is so immersive, fulfilling and addictive such that you are likely to end up wanting more. It does not really matter which one you choose to build first as you will certainly be building the other one soon and maybe more. I agree with Albert, the Pershing does sound better but the KT looks meaner and is likewise my favorite (built 3 KT's among my currently 10 Tamiyas).
