You could do a review on Tiger I modifications showcasing Kabul Tanker as he modifies his Tiger with metal suspension arms, metal plates and brackets inside the hull and an adjustable idler. These type of how to mods greatly improve the durability of the tank.

How about a review of the Andrew Design Sd.Kfz. 222/223 1/16 scale model? Not really a tank but being mostly diecast RC model would be interseting as this is a new maker on the scene.

RE: What would you like for a new review?
Hey guys I just recieved an e-mail from my editor. It reads **VS TANK 1/24 SCALE EP M1A2 ABRAMS RTR BATTLE TANK
Up to six modelers can “declare warâ€!
With more display quality looks and authentic performance, the new VS Tank Ready-To-Run M1A2 Abrams will appeal to a wider audience. The newly designed controller allows for two-handed operation making it easier to perform multiple functions simultaneously. A new microprocessor facilitates performing those functions seamlessly.
The all-wheel, multi-piece suspension is more scale-looking and is enhanced by molded-in details, working hatches, and a painted driver figure.
Upon firing its infrared beam, the tank recoils – just like the full-size tank – and the sound clips are recordings of an actual Abrams tank!
The tank offers three forward speeds and two reverse speeds, turns left and right and pivots in two different speeds. This tank can tackle rugged terrain and inclines up to 35°.
The turret rotates 330° and the cannon has an up and down range of approximately 20°.
VSKD60** EP M1A2 Abrams RTR Tank-Desert Camo Retail:$149.99 Street:$119.99
VSKD61** EP M1A2 Abrams RTR Tank-NATO Retail:$149.99 Street:$119.99
VSKD62** EP M1A2 Abrams RTR Tank-NTC 3-Tone Retail:$149.99 Street:$119.99
IN STOCK: Early May

What do you guys think. I am going with this or the Heng Long Panzer 3 I can't decide.

No, the Andrew Design Sd.Kfz. 222/223 model. One version has a cannon in the turret!

They look like fun, But I'm more into WWII in 1/16th scale, so the PanzerIII been the new tank out from HL will be IMO read and discussed and modified more then something in a 1/24th scale, there is more out there to work with in 1/32 and now it seem like the 1/16th is coming on strong.

Alright everyone I have narrowed it down to two tanks, I am starting a poll, vote for which tank you want to see a review done on The Heng Long Panzer III or the M1A2 Abrams Tank from vstanks. HL Panzer shoots bb's and th VS Abrams shoots lasers. The voting starts now and will end in 24 hours from this post. Results so far: HL 6 VS 0

The only thing about the PZ III is it is very new. There are SO MANY ideas with the Tiger and Perishing... I think one of these would provide a GREAT article. But my 2 cents worth...

Heng long. They are responsible for all the heightened interest in tanks right now in my opinion. Excellent bang for the buck and the 1/16 scale means a whole pile of tamiya details are available, making them a real modelers tank. There will soon be a increase in IR battling systems and sound sytems, meaning some incredible upgrading possibilities.
I doubt whether a 1/24 vs tank has the broad appeal that the 1/16 Heng Long has.

RE: What would you like for a new review?
When is this review going to be posted? I've been reading ad nauseum about the HL's and Tam's and all the other existing tanks out there. A lot of us already have these tanks. And they are all covered in this forum with build threads, pic's, etc.
The greatest good would be in getting us some pre-release info on the tanks that are coming out. Matorro KT will be a hot item, unless they don't fix the quality problems they are having. WSN will release a KT too. Any info on upcoming tanks will be more imortant to me. Us avid hobbyist are pre-ordering our tanks. I think a lot got burned by the Matorro Sturm. That's why I'd like to see a review on an upcoming tank.
WSN KT for me please

HL11 VS0 It's no contest. Hey guys is there a USA based Heng Long facility. My editor will write to Heng Long in China, but just in case that one fails.

You really should consider my sugestion on an upcoming tank. You can find good reviews of the stuff that's already out there on the web.
