    I don't understand, you want Heng Long but not from Toucan? Toucan is the distributor for HL and their customer service is excellent. Another reseller is MotionRC and they just got an order in but their offerings are very limited (no specifically static versions) compared to Toucan and again they are a reseller.

      Static tanks are quite "boring". I had as many as 20 1/16 static tanks. I converted almost all of them to RCs. If you want a metal tank with recoil barrel feature, get the Tiger I, M4 or Leopard from Toro at Motion RC. They are quite detailed with better quality. Then you can put it on the shelf to display too.

      Relax, have fun and enjoy :-)

        The Toro panther F is nice. And the IS-2 is awesome. It can easily be easily opened.

          Search for "Trumpeter 1/16".
          The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

            But Bob a Trumpeter would require the OP to have to do a little 😉 work to build and paint. I think that might be asking far to much of him.
