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

... I agree, I'm not too much into the modern tanks either, but a lot of people still are, & 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 ALLTHEWAY !!!!

RE: Heng Long 1/16 Tank Rumor Mill
Thanks to rivetcounter for bringing this to everyone's attention, & a BIG thanks to Photbucket's "tigertiki" (all original photos here => Tigertiki's photo album) for providing some real pictures of these long awaited & 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 & 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?!?!?

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.

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, & 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 => Original thread with pictures here

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 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..
