A 1/16 Pzfkw III would be great

Hallo Martin.

I just received my Heng Long 1:16 scale R/C Tiger I. A good mix between a toy and model. It will need some work to bring it up to standard, but the basics are sound and all there. I love the sound effects, the V12 actualy starting and switching off. The BB gun is a bit naff really, as you can't aim the thing other by lying behind it. The performance is most impressive...

Photo's shortly...

Groeten
Henk

P.S. I want a Pzr IV......

That PzIII looks promising even if the pics are a bit blurry.

A new gun and some detailing and it will propably make a nice static model.

the gun looks a bit off size - propably a BB shooter ?

Could be a BB gun indeed. Still even with some errors which are to be expected, this could provide us with a very good base to build a full option Pzkfw III. Or how about a StuG III ??

Options enough!

My Tiger goes like the proverbial s**t of a shovel..., these things are great fun to tear around the park with... :-) :-) . It will climb steep inclines, and has no problem going through flower beds and undergrowth. Not the tended flower beds mind you, I'm not a hooligan... :-) .
Just one problem, track wear. I have close to worn out the (plastic) track on the laft side, and was wondering where the best place is to get a replacement. The BB gun is neither here nor there as far as I'm concerend. It works o.k., but not spectecular. The head lights are very bright, and can be used to drive in the dark... I told you a work night shifts didn't I Maybe I should try to get some glow in the dark BB's... .

Cheers
Henk
