Hi..

Was wondering if any of you have had the chance to look at the Robbe Leo..
It has a heft pricetag (42€) so I would like to know if the quality match the prize ;-)


Best regads.

For the amount of obvious inconsistancies between it and the real deal...no way.

Is it really that Off Scale..? I have not seen many of these new Leo`s, as my main interest is in WWII tanks.
seams kind of funny that Robbe would put out a stand-off scale model in this prise range.
It better be a techical marbel at this prize.. Anyone seen one up front..?

Regards

The Robbe 1:10 is a piece of JUNK.

Not very many sellers of Robbe stuff here in the States. I'm trying to get some of Robbe's differentials for a project of mine and they are tough to get over here.

The angles are all wrong, its like that Japanese company (Sankyo) that makes Nitro tanks - sorta look the part in the distance, up close its another story ([link=http://www.tokyo-hobbies.com/img_khoutou.jpg]King Tiger example[/link]).

Kind of like the tin tanks you see floating around on ebay...

EDIT: Please excuse my temporary lack of intelligent thought, I hadnt had my first coffee of the day

Sankyo is Japanese not Chinese, Wacky. The Sankyo King Tiger is not a very good model appearance wise but it is good mechanically. Sankyo's other models ( Japanese type 74 and type 61) are much better in the appearance department and maintain good mechanics as well.

(yes that's a Sankyo Type 61 in my Avatar, all 113 pounds of it.)
