1/16 Centurion

[Cheetah11]

Just arrived at my local hobby shop. About 1250 USD. I will give it a miss at that price.

 Jy is doodreg Iain. Totale malligheid. Hy kos R19500 by Jix. Goedkoop as jy kyk na die R24500 wat die 1/16 M1 Abrahams kos.

Look forward to this.

 

Sorry Maru, as I have said this is too expensive. I should have posted under General Discussion. I hope admin will move it to the right forum. Happens when you post from a phone

$1200 is about the going rate for Tamiya's full RC big tanks. I do wish they would release more of their tanks minus the RC stuff, but even when they do they tend to be in the $500 range. I would love to have their JSII.

I think that big Centurion has been around for awhile. I built one way back

in my Airman days in the barracks as a Israeli Centurion. It was a fun kit 

back then too!

I hope they release this tank as a kit and not an RC-model. Then it will be cheaper, and i think i will wait for the IDF version of the tank.

To my knowledge none of the Tamiya 1/16 RC Tanks have been released in any version other than the original released.

Probably thinking of the old 1/24th scale Centurion from either the 70's or 80's

I have seen the M551 and Type 10 listed on e-bay as a static kit in the $400 range. I'm pretty sure the Tiger I was sold without RC as well. I had one of those in the black carry bag. I know the older King Tiger was, that one I bought years..decades... ago.

I was referring to an IDF version. You are correct, the ones you've listed are available in a Static version.

Probably was the 1/24th scale Centurion. Looks like the same box art

from way back. But then I have consumed a lot of San Miguel and Sing Ha

beer since then! LOL!
