1/16 T-34's... the Latest.

That's great news!

Yup, it's described as being a "full R/C version" (I'm not sure what that means).

How should we feel about that? On the one hand, it's fine that there will be a R/C. On the other hand, what accuracy comprimises did they have to make in order to make the hull parts R/C-friendly?

Hopefully not as many as they'd have to make for 1/35th, but still. Just look at how the R/C curse affected the new Dragon kits -- according to FSM, the M1A2 has got all kinds of R/C alterations that make the kit look toylike.

Good points Larry. I hope it won't affect 1/16 scale too much. I've always had a problem with motorization... I like to interiorize many of my models and it's always a pain filling in holes, cutting off electric motor mounts, etc. Of course, there are a lot of folks who LOVE motorization, so I think it's worth the extra work I do so a kit is more successful.
However, if they can't motorize or make RC without getting toylike, well, then the line is drawn.

My opinion.
