Remote controlled tanks

This is another Christmas gift that I thought may be of interest. A 1/24 scale tank that fires bb pellets, has a rotating turret, elevating barrel and fully working tracks. First off I was the recipient of the Russian designed T-90 but that didn't work so it was replaced by a German Leopard A5. This one worked and was very impressive covering obstacles and so on. Now I wish I had another tank to pit it up against, though luckily there is a good amount of modern tanks in that scale - click here for some of the tanks available. If you're thinking of getting one then shop around - the prices seem to fluctuate widely.
1/16 scale seems to be one to go for if you want world war two - there seems to be Tigers and Panthers in this scale, though no doubt more will follow.
