I just can't help it. I keep coming up with questions and see things i want REALLY badly. (we all do). i wanna know which has the higher ground clearance. the m41 or the tiger. i love those two tanks. i want them both but i cant spend any money (might go on a trip to australia through a people to people student ambassador thing so i have to save up for that) my brother went to europe and went to omaha beach. i would have really wanted to go. but i have the chance to australia. a big zoo. and the itenerary says basically all we do is see wildlife. i know its a one in a lifetime chance but i want a tank and to go on the trip even though i hate zoo's. also if i painted it if i got one would i need to sand it down a little and use primer?

Hi the M41 has more ground clearance.
What ever you do get the smoke and seound super version with the metal gears!
HAPPY TANKING

Ja, smoke and sound !

Take the Tiger - always good to have a personal Tiger in a zoo !

Not necessary. Providing of course that the original finish has no major scars, runs in the paint, "orange peel" or something along those lines that would show up underneath your new paint, then sanding is not necessary. And besides, people put too much emphasis on perfectly smooth tank paint that they forget that the paint finish was often far from perfect and the armor itself was very rough in texture. Primer is not necessary unless you sprayed a much lighter paint over dark which could require that you make as many as 5-10 coats to cover up the dark underlying paint.

If you're doing a winter whitewash on a Tiger however, some see-through effect showing the undercoat would look best.

Which tank have you decided on?

probably going to get the super verson tiger.

Are you going to the Australian Zoo? The one Steve Irwin the "crock hunter" was buried in? I was a bit of a fan, even though he was a nut. I'd go for sure if i were in your shoes.

I could not decide on a tiger or M41 either, ended up buying both in the "super" versions from Mato toys. I ended up getting metal tracks for the tiger, but they made it slow and very heavy. My M41 now runs circles around it. Love them both though..........
