>>10582245ps: yes tamiya is fucking expensive.
but heng long at least trippled in price over the last years, they are closing in on tamiya, as well as the other chink rc tankers. and besides electronics their tanks are indoor rc toys full of scale errors and shitty mechanics. and stay away from 3d prints. if u want smth proper driving and looking +/- scale, you'll end up in the tamiya price range with aftermarket stuff.
>>10582288>>10582391pidor ziggers are really a most unpleasant encounter.
personally im repainting all my russian 1/16 stuff since its simply not cool anymore. i mean it never was as cool as us or german stuff. but now that its just turned out mostly as bloated vaporware used by crooked teeth child rapists to plunder a nice country... nope. fuck russia. most of my ww2 russian stuff was bought 2nd hand as rebuild base anyways.
i have a kv1 which is going to get one of those psychedelic finn camo patterns.
there is also a t34/85 which will feature austrian rearnament markings or the one tank with the poem and the old hungarian crest from the hungarian uprising.
a js2 is going to become a cuban tank. js2s werent exported that much it seems, hard to find smth.
im tempted to put azov markings on the t90, just for the lulz.
pic related is the panzerhaubitze2000s granddad: the Hummel (Bumblebee, for the phatness).
