Hi Max,

This kit is actually available as a complete kit in one shot for $1,599 USD from Agora, most of the newer models com in monthly packs over the course of time in varying sizes. it is a bit unique as it has an integrated FPV camera with display on the remote.

Full disclosure: Agora models sent me this kit to do a series of build videos on.

Awesome

Pack 11 done, control board, battery, new charge controller, MG-3, and some pretty nice antennas installed.

In the last 3 years, I have been putting together models that are delivered in packs or with weekly fascicles. They are basically pre-painted, and are aimed at NON-modellers, that is, people with no knowledge of modeling techniques, but with a screwdriver and some patience they can manage to build a model. I don't see the point in the case of tanks, at least for a group like this, where most are skilled at using what is offered, cheaper and without the need to wait weeks. With so many Leopards around, this model lacks practical sense for this group and others, only for newcomers who understand absolutely nothing. In any case, it is great to receive free models and make videos, I congratulate you, very well done.

I see your point, but this is more aimed at the "in betweeners" who want a 1/16 scale tank, want to build it and not buy an RTR, and may have limited modeling skills, it's a niche market but yet they seem to sell quite well.

Also since I can't leave anything alone, I am weathering this up ontop of already upgrading all the rolling stock to ball bearings.

All done, but I will return to it for weathering in the future.
