I need help picking a Tamiya Tank

[DavidN]

Thank you! After finalizing my thoughts, I might just get the TBU from MotionRC along with the Pershing by Friday.

Someone snatched that M26 on MotionRC.

Yep it was a good deal.

Did you factor the shipping cost into the AAF price. It is typically $100 shipping to Ca.

I recall seeing free shipping for Tami kits when I was ordering my tracks, I just checked, and the tank kits are eligible for free shipping.

The last one I bought from AAF was my Sheridan. $100 to ship it. The Sheridan now list for $100 more with free shipping. It’s all smoke and mirrors.

The only way to know if they are honoring free shipping is to load one into the cart and proceed to check out all the way through selecting shipping. My bet is they will charge for shipping and then credit your card the shipping amount on the next billing cycle. They did that to me twice prior on a Tamiya tank when I used their free shipping coupons.

I read their shipping policy. There is a shipping fee. It is when we enter our zip code that it will show. By tomorrow, I will know what I want and will place the order. Thanks again everyone! If you have a free shipping coupon that is still not expired, kindly share or PM. If not, I am still good :-)

There is a pershing on ebay in the u.s. right now , In case you still want one

[DavidN]

I got outbid :-)

What tank do you really want? Is it the Pershing? A Leopard, a Type10 or another German tank. Right now trying to scramble for just any Tamiya kit in one week is difficult and costly

Thanks for your concern. For the holidays, I just want to build one Tamiya tank from the box all the way to the RC IR battle stage so I can have an understanding on Tamiya RC system. I don't have a specific tank in mind. I just want to get a cheapest one. So far the KT from AAF is the one. I tried to bid for that Pershing on Ebay almost to same price as the MotionRC but someone else went higher.

Deciding which tank to get is a tough decision, I have been there too. Which is why so many of us end up with many different tanks eventually haha, I have Heng long, Taigen and Tamiya, All are great in their own way. Tamiya kits are so satisfying to put together

[DavidN]

I called Karen at the AAF during my lunch break. Everything went well. Her shipping department will close after 2pm tomorrow and will resume on January 4, 2022. My KT will be shipped today. I am glad I ordered today instead of next week.

Enjoy the build!

Glad it worked out, now you only have to wait and decide on the version for your build! So was it free shipping or credit after ship?

[DavidN]

I also ordered a few accessories. Shipping cost showed $113 added into the invoice she sent to my email. I don’t know if she would credit some back later or not.

DavidN This should be on the list next https://www.axels-modellbau-shop.de/...-kit-1-16.html

Yeap, I went to the LA Club tank built day last Saturday and we had a talk over that. It is good for our hobby to have another British tank.

[DavidN]

I came home and it was at the front door. My X-mas present arrived at the perfect time.
