Well I am stoked!!!  The PZ3 shell looks great and time will tell what they do to the drivetrain. I am def. looking forward to getting one of these.  Here's the link to the pictures on Toms RC Tanks. Hopefully there will be some official pictures soon. http://tomsrctanks.com/pz3.asp |

It looks awefully good compared to the real one. This is a great time for tankers I can't stop looking.

I don't know about a Sherman. It looks like HL is trying to distinguish itself from Tamiya now that they're established. I say this because lately, they've gone out of their way to produce tanks that Tamiya does not. The other being the Walker Bulldog. |

sounds good..
would be nice if Henglong did a sherman, but the 75/76mm gun version rather than the 105mm howitzer version Tamiya makes....which was not the normal armament....

Sadly... I've been told that Mato may NOT carry this, or any more Hen Long units, due to HL's failure to understand what 'Quality Control' is all about. I suspect Murphy is not making as much of a margin on them as he expected, and we Canucks may have to see if we can get someone to hand-carry 'em across the border in group-buys, or deal with companies like RaidenTech. Be prepared to bite the bullet guys, cause if Mato drops 'em, getting after-sales parts and repairs will become a nightmare. |

That would suck very much if that did happen. Mato has been very good for us Canadians. I would have thought the Supers were good enough quality control wise. Other then the smoke units of course... |

Please don't let this happen. I live in Australia, the Tanks are made in China, but I buy them from Canada! WHY?
 Because I can get all the spare parts I need from Mato, even some for free, There service is first class, there product range is always growing, and I am very happy with the way there SUPERS run.  I only have to wait 6 days at the most for any of my orders,  but above all of that I feel I can trust them.  I know there is a problem with the smoke units, but I for one don't care, for the money they are still the best value for money I have seen for a long time. The cost of a HL tank inc frieght from Mato is about $15.00Aus more than a petrol tank of petrol |

Seriosly, I don't see qwhy hey don't just drop the smoke units. This will only improve quality control and drop the price. |

The Sherman would be great! Especially the earlier ones with the VVS suspension. Then you can make really close versions of the tank destroyers, M3 Lee, recovery vehicles, etc. |
