Hello,

On ebay (France), someone is advertising motorized models (m1a1, leopard) that he says are portugese...
Does anyone have an idea at what these models are ? How good they are ?
Is it worth a buy (a fun thing, could be made as a present for a kid) ?

thanks

These sound like the Zhenfedu motorized kits where they take photos of Tamiya kits and put them on the box top. Inside is a plastic motorized toy model, each chassis is the same (same for M1A1, M2A2, Leo, Type 90, etc.) and a top hull that resembles the tank it is supposed to be. Not quality kits here.
