Yeah, but it's pre-assembled and pre-painted.

That's not a model, it's more like a diecast.

Nothing says it can't be repainted though... Man what fun that would be!

Hmmmm, and the price isn't much more than the 1/16 scale RC Sherman from Tamiya. Not too bad for a friggin' 1/6 scale tank.

Still it's more money than I've got right now and I don't have anywhere to put it. I'd think you'd need a garage for it Big Smile

Though if you wired it for RC it'd be awesome!

I've seen online pics. Let's just say it's not the apex of accuracy.  Even if they had scaled up their M4A3 75W kit, they would have done better.  They miss the mark as far as scale modellers go.  Probably do fine in the 1/6 battle barbie circles.

 Without a doubt, it'd make a nice basis for a super detailed 1/6 model ala J Steinman's 1/6 scale M5A1 Stuart.  For that, DML deserves praises.

the turret looks kinda small to the old MK.1 eyeball...and the hull a tad too tall. still neat though.

They also have a 1/6 Pz II which might be a little more manageable as far as size. IIRC, it is offered as a kit as well as pre built.
