Tamiya 1/16 leopard 1a4
 
I've read that this is the worst of the tamiya rc line. Plastic is like static model. Turret doesn't not turn. One speed, etc.

Is this true. Tomzag?

it is full option. turret rotates, gun elevation and gun recoil with flash. all sounds effects. twin motor gearboxes. alum plate reenforce all thin plastic.

brass wire replace all plastic handles and guards.

all tamiya components.

I wanted to get an A4 in the future. Just how brittle is this plastic exactly? I'm not familiar with Tamiya static model plastic?

I've got the Porsche KT Static model, compared it with a KT FO, no differences what I can tell. Can't vouch for the others tho.

The RC Leo2A6 is made of plastics like their RC cars rather than the WWII RC models.

actually, the leo1a4 and gepard is thinner thank other tamiya tank. but it is not that bad. i re-enforce the hull plastic with alum. use styren sheet and rod for the upperhull and turret.

thanks,tom
