I'll chime in here. Regardless of the model you pick, get a basic one for your first. You can always get post-purchase upgrades, that's actually part of the fun. But starting basic means your investment is less, and if something breaks it won't sting as much and you'll be more comfortable taking it apart and fixing or modifying it. This goes for painting and weathering too. It's lot easier to jump in on a <$200 plastic tank, than a >$500 metal monster! T-34's and Sherman's are great first choices if you'll be going outside. Tigers have interleaved wheels which can get clogged and jammed. But, the heart wants what the heart wants!
I worked parttime at a hobby shop some time ago. We'd always see new r/c flyers come in wanting the fanciest plane for their first; usually a Mustang or Corsair. We'd try to steer them to a trainer first, but if they were obdurate, we'd sell them the plane of their dreams, knowing they'd be back for a trainer later. It always happened.
