This review is from: 1/16 German Tiger Air Soft Rc Battle Tank Smoke & Sound (Upgrade Version w/ Metal Gear & Tracks) (Toy) Customer Video Review Length:: 9:51 MinsI bought this as a late Christmas gift for my little girl for something to play with indoors and outside once it warms up again. First off, it's really pretty big, about 21" long. Also, unlike the photos on here, the tank is a much darker gray, which is of no real concern, but still good to know for any perfectionists regarding tank appearance. I'll start by giving opinions about specific parts of the tank, starting with the drive mechanism. As noted in the description, the gears, drive sprocket, and tracks are all metal, making for a much more robust drive train and obstacle clearing ability. I was surprised at how fast it was, going around 3-4mph at full speed. It also is easily steered, allowing one tread to be slowed while the other rolls for slight corrections while in motion, or it can do "super spin," which is the track on one side going one direction, while the track on the other side goes the opposite...Read more 14 of 14 people found the following review helpful: By History Buff (N.C.) - See all my reviews = Durability: Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: 1/16 German Tiger Air Soft Rc Battle Tank Smoke & Sound (Upgrade Version w/ Metal Gear & Tracks) (Toy) I ordered this tank 12/24/09 and received it 1/4/10. It is very realistic. The metal tracks really add to the realism.Scale detail is very good, shovels,ax,sledge hammer,wood blocks,tow cables,fording gear and all scale details are awesome.The open assist mechanism on the commanders hatch even works. The headligts work and the hull mounted machine gun muzzle lights up red to simulate firing.The tank commander has headphones that are removable, he also needs to be painted as he is made of green plastic.It comes with decals,two number 3818 for the turret sides and four Balkenkreuze decals for the turret and hull sides.Four Balkenkreuze decals,two on the turret and two on the hull would be Schwere Panzer-Abteilung 503. they were the only heavy tank battalion to have two Balkenkreuze visible on each side,one on the hull and one on the turret near the identification numeral. The only complaint I have is the charger for the 7.2 volt tank battery is made to plug in to a 220 volt european or...Read more 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: = Durability: This review is from: 1/16 German Tiger Air Soft Rc Battle Tank Smoke & Sound (Upgrade Version w/ Metal Gear & Tracks) (Toy) I received my tank yesterday and all I can say is WOW! This tank is very detailed and very scale like. The tank worked right out of the box! I do suggest reading the entire manual before operating the tank. Some people are experiencing trouble with the smoke generator that's because people fail to fill the smoke oil which indicated in the manual clearly. If ran without filling the oil the generator will break. Overall I'm very satisfied with the tank. I'm planning to order more Heng long tanks so my sons & I can have little battle in our back yard. By the way, this tank is huge and the metal tacks are crazy! Seller did a fine job packing. Thanks. |
