It's a reasonable facsimile but not the Type-74 I know.


















~ Jeff

Yea, wasn't sure on that. At close to 16" long it seem's big for 1/24 but small for 1/16. The VS 1/24 tiger1 measures only 13" from exhaust to barrel end. And my WSN T-34 measures
something like 17" at the same measure points.

Damn it!

i'm not too much in modern tanks no good for me

Same, they all look the same, lame. Lack character compared to WWI and WWII tanks!

... I agree, I'm not too much into the modern tanks either, but a lot of people still are, &amp; I think the younger kids growing up seeing the modern tanks in action may be more likely to get one than the older WW II tanks ... but for me, WWII tanks <u>ALLTHEWAY </u>!!!!

~ Craig ~

A great start to a new year the HL Sherman and a Leopard 2. You can never have a anough toys. At 51 I refuse to grow up.

Cheers
Johnny

Whats better playing with or working on the tanks

Here Here!.....

You need to see some video of the Canadian Leo's in Afghanistan. More junk on them then a WWII Sherman

Produce t90's and m1a2 tanks and we can have a modern tank battle.....

Well, the M1A2 is on the list ....


~ Craig ~

Thanks to rivetcounter for bringing this to everyone's attention, &amp; a BIG thanks to Photbucket's "tigertiki" (all original photos here =&gt; Tigertiki's photo album) for providing some real pictures of these long awaited &amp; upcoming Heng Long tanks!

So it is very nice to see the next 2 rumor mill tanks from the list come out in the flesh, from those pictures being posted up from the Nuremberg Toy Fair 2013 ...
The Challenger II &amp; T34/85 .... now just waiting when some new M1A2 Abrams pictures start to surface to complete this list of 6 great tanks!
Looks like both these tanks may / will be released some time this year as expected?!?!?





~ Craig ~

Looks like the HL T-34 is very much a reality now! I'd like to see the gearbox and what the suspension is like.

I'm pretty much set on getting one no matter what lol ... that is, after I get a Sherman M4A3!

~ Craig ~

Well we know airbrushler will be in line for the T34.
But then again I will have to get one too

Cheers
Wade

HL Leo2A6

who me .......maybe....lol

the HL comes in a kit form???

Lol it's just parts bags for the assembly workers to... Assemble!

No, those are pictures of the new Leopard 2A6 parts, supposedly from inside the Heng Long factory.

Original Chinese thread was posted on the 5imx forum with a ton of pictures, a video of a worker doing his job inside the factory, &amp; the poster also mentioning the Leo going in full production in 2 months, as well as a blurb of the Challenger 2 added in there as well =&gt; Original thread with pictures here


~ Craig ~

be nice to have the option of kit form

I can't believe HL still make the old Pantiger. I would have thought, once they were sold out of stock, they would have let that model run end.

Funny to see all those tanks stacked up like fire wood.

I thought the same thing.. for a while now it seemed like they were getting harder to find.

I spotted one Thursday in my local hobby shop.. out of it's box, on display... I giggled to myself, and pointed it out to someone who really didn't care.. lol.

The temptation is ALWAYS there, though, to pick up a cheap PanTiger upper hull, strap it to my champion Tiger asiatam hull & battle system, and wreak some havoc..

The new Pan-Tiger's are out early this year.... Good to see that they are filling all the New orders for Pan-Tigers, get'en wile their hot boys.
Awww.. Baby Pan-Tigers ..so cute...I want them All..
