    I have 15 RC panzer IV tanks and variants in my collection. Beside the Tamiya one, the 2 Torro ones are great.

    Buy Torro German Panzer IV (Ausf. G) Unpainted 1/16 Scale Medium Tank - RTR online at Motion RC. Order online with fast delivery.

      I have a bunch of Heng Long P4's. I don't use them in battles too much because the bogie design is prone to breakage. The leaf springs catch on obstructions. Ok for mild use, not so much for frantic maneuvering. haven't tried other brands.

      That said, the chassis is used for many 3D printed variations!

      The more screws it takes to reassemble a tank, the more likely it is you left something out!

        Was able to grab a Torro Panzer IV yesterday before they sell out again. This just about ends the ones I'm interested in. Should have it Tuesday.

                  speaking of the PZ IV
                  Just receive yesterday from Toucan my PZ IV Heng Long / Coolbank special paint camo edition.
                  Right of the box i noticed something is wrong.
                  Numerous section of the tank was left unpainted ?!

                  see the photo below from Toucan website
                  - no camo on the barrel
                  - side hull and part of the turret left unpainted
                  - one of the rear fender with no camo

                  rectify with some paint
                  At least the added RAL Rotbraun and RAL Olivgrün (opt.1) blend perfectly with the factory paint

                  issue of quality control here from Toucan
                  this not a interpretation of a camo scheme of the painter here
                  this a case of very lazy uncompleted painting job.

                  beside this ; very sastified
                  cheers PZ Loco !

                    I'm not a big fan of Toucan Hobby myself. Quality control issue with me also.

                      Nothing to do with Toucans Quality Control but everything to do with Coolbank.

                        Major player with good reputation among rc tank enthousiast.
                        very late buyer from toucan and 2nd buy from me.
                        cannot resist lately for theirs special coolbank/heng long special editon tank
                        buy a StuG III Ausf. G — Saukopf mantlet last month in dunkelbelb.
                        As far who is responsible; Toucan must stand behind the products it sells on their website.
                        no import fee promised also,..
                        Cheers PZ Loco!
