| Still trying to figure out just exactly what it is we've captured here. It's the latest charity shop find, ...at only $4.00 Oz.  It's a motorised model, and in very good condition too but of course it did NOT come with a remote so that's one to be tracked down. Looks like it's fairly highly detailed although not 1/6 scale unfortunately, but everything seems to be intact. Can't turn the gun turret to forward yet without the control. A work in progress.  |

| What a fantastic find and a super-fantastic price! That is so cool!
Looks to be scaled for the 3-3/4 inch (1:18 scale, I believe) figures.

| Says on the bottom that it's 1/16 scale, but I have a few little fellows and they look quite happy in it, so I guess it's theirs to play with. Found out the tanks sells for $280 new, but of course that's with a remote. Just tracked me down a remote too.  |

Yes, according to the underneath inscription you are absolutely correct. I've read it is capable of doing some amazing things. Realistic sounds, recoil action of the cannon, smoke even! Can't wait to see if I can get it going! The tracks look perfect! |

| A three-hundred dollar model for five bucks? Four bucks?!  Amazing find! A true treasure! I see that some of the Heng Long tanks are even set up for AirSoft BB battles! And you can install smoke units for even more realism! Now you've tracked down a remote! It will certainly be interesting finding out if it still works! And even if it doesn't, it's an impressively detailed model! (Or... you could sell it... to fund your Phicen collection!  )
