Well, ive bought mine somewhere in kelana jaya, not 1/16, but 1/24, kinda pricey compared 2 HL, but the quality if top notch Can also fire 6mm pellet, but cant give out smoke. Its pretty interesting if u 1 sumthin dat doesnt require modding. HL barrel for Tiger I is kinda a wee bit short, like halfway in firing... Mine is Late war version.

I bought my VS Tank from Kelana Jaya. Got a RC shop over there that sells VS Tank.

@greenarrow2k6: bro, if you're into making the tank more real, modification on the commander's cupola is needed I did read it somewhere that it just need to be separated from turret by using knife because it's only glued-on. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I read it from here:
HL Tiger I mod
Actually at first I was aiming for HL Tiger I, then after knowing it do need a lot of mods for own satisfaction for it to be nice, I opted for VS Tank

Your welcome bro. Yup, too pro already, I don't think I can do such thing
I don't know much about HL, but I do think you will needing an antenna to run the RC properly, or the range would only be near

I dunno man on how to increase the range of transmission
@joohui89: If you're in KL, do check in BTS, last time I went there they do have upgrades for metal tracks. You ought to try finding it also in Kelana Jaya, but I can't recall the name of the RC shop there

If you're keen on 1/35 model tank, Hobby HQ should do the trick I guess. Used to be located in City Square, but now it's now in Jalan Metro Pudu, Fraser BIZ Park, 55100 KL.
Tel:603-9223 8588

But til now I can't seem to find the shop

So far I have a VS Tank 1/24 Tiger I late war production model.

I am thinking to go for a Heng Long 1/16 Panther G. Any suggestion on the whereabouts, and the quality/details/historically-accurate?

Couldn't really find any reviews on the net BTW.

FYI a shop in BTS is selling a Heng Long 1/16 King Tiger with Porsche turret at MYR 399. Kinda attractive price I should say.

hehehe
just a bit into it

That one is Tokyo Marui, and it cost a bomb for a 1/24 scale. Better off with a VS Tank anyday

anything of Tokyo Marui are expensive, most are due to the quality of the brand itself I presume

depends on the agreement of the members. but as of now, the meetup will be in november since this month most will be doing on diorama
i think most of us are using henglong here, tamiya would cost a bomb, and vs tank, although great oob, the size is tad small
it all depends on preferences though, vs tank engine sound would also only play when it moves, there is no idle sound and no engine smoke :/

Actually I never upgrade anything on my tank, any ideas where to go for any upgrades?

the newest addition is the mato king tiger right?
so far the review stated the gearbox are wee bit unsatisfactory comparative to heng long's, and the bulge on the lower glacis plate is kinda distracting, heh

Bulldog is one of few early heng long that doesn't have many problems
So far mine are HL King Tiger and VS Tiger
Maybe later will get another one, prolly HL Jagdpanther :I

you can't go wrong with King Tiger. It's huge, it has the new rx18 board inside, dimension-wise it has no problem. My second choice would be Panther G. Third would be a Stug III/Jagdpanther (although the lower glacis plate of Jagdpanther is kinda off).

in BTS, in fb group. even so we do have our own fb group for rc tanks. some are sellers too

well, all td are funneh. the tracks right?
you might want to lose one, so i heard, to tighten it

I'm not so sure where you could obtain one in Sabah/Sarawak, but I did saw some post in fb group that there are gathering in Brunei for RC tanks

As for metal tracks and gears, from what I read, it is advisable to at least obtain the full metal thingy for it, which mean you'll need metal tracks, gears, wheels, suspension just so the rest can cope with that extra weight.

If you're going for Tiger, find the one from the latest release, which utilizing the latest RX18 board, less faulty exterior and whatnot. The price should be around RM200-RM300, at least here in Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks Tiger 1. I will fly over to KL to buy one. Can you be a bit more precise as to where in KL I can buy it (Tiger tank)? Cost is not much problem as they say " a thing of beauty is a joy forever!"

well, a friend is selling in fb
http://www.facebook.com/pages/RC-Toys/4104...9008474?fref=ts
since nowadays its better IMO to buy from a person than a shop, the price would be lower

You're welcome

Some progress for diorama which will be used later in our gathering
The floor is tad tipsy, hence the somewhat floating column.
And please don't comment on the room, this is the best room I could get in the college
