Pattoncommander,
Thanks for the info. The C-21 is almost an inch shorter. Those pics reminds me of my Panzer III sitting next to the M41A3 Bulldog...

Compare the C-21 Walker Bulldog with HL....the C-21 is more accurate in respect to actual size. The HL is way too big. You can put the C-21 on a battle field and they look pretty good, just don't put them together with HL. Same as using the Build-a Rama accessories....they look great but don't mix Jerry cans.

The c-21 tank are actually quite nice. They can easily be converted to full RC. The HL Panzer IV tracks and even fit the C-21 tank (including sprocket. No suspension though.

I agree with that tracks fitting and when you add a smoker to it, well let's say it works rather well!

all in all, the C-21 tank are good. Great quality and easily converted to RC. I'm going to try to convert a Bulldog soon. I've done several Panzer IVs and Panthers and one Patton tank

TJM,

Where are you getting all the turret gear rings for these conversions, does Matomart have them?

for the panzer IV's they are already RC with turret rings. (I replace the electronics) As for the panthers I have been picking up a number of cheap 1/24 HL tanks and using the turret ring's, turret traverse motors, upper electrical harness, bb feeder trays, airsoft unit and gun elevation motors. For $20 - $30 you get lots of spare parts which are all requied for a conversion.
