HL Tiger 231

HL Panzer III






Another product from Henglong. Imported by Mato Toys, this one is really a nice kit. I heard good and bad things with this one, but this is now my second unit. This one was sold on ebay and hope that it finds a good home. Painted after a panzer III that was used in Russia during 1942/43. Lot's of fun painting this one!



I am pretty sure this one was from the 3rd Panzer Divison. There is a classic
picture of this vehicle having the front wheel being changed on the Russian plains.

Heng Longs 1/16 Tiger






I visted the 2007 Hobby show this year and discovered some interesting things. A company called MATO toys was selling 1/16 scale Henglong RC tanks. Although I had a real bad experience with the product years ago, it got me hooked again. The RC tanks gave me a chance to play around with painting something larger than 1/35 scale. Guess what? I am hooked now! Please take some time to enjoy some of the Tiger and Panzer III's that I have painted after the show. Most of them have been sold on ebay and there are more to come.
