I would never buy from Hooben direct. Goto your trusted dealers and when they have it in stock then order it from them. Too many false promises and delay directly from Hooben, not to mention the 180's on some "announced" product that never saw the light of day. Also notice the second line after the tank title is the Paypal address.......
Still like my DIY MkIII better in terms of looks.

I would love a Cromwell but it has to be done right and Cost is a factor. It is just not worth the effort if I have to jump through hoops, pay through the nose and then rip everything out of it to battle.
They are nice to see on the battle feild. Still waiting for a lee / Grant ....

Not a bad video of it, except that the smoke hose must be loose, since the smoke is coming out of the crew/troop area at the back opening rather than front right side of the tank. Maybe a smoke grenade went off by accident in the crew/troop compartment

I dunno. I'd trust HL to make a better tank than Hooben…
Smoke out of the back of the tank sounds like they make it look like the tank without knowing a damned thing about the tank.

The tank has the smoke coming out of the side in other videos I seen. I am sure it is a case of the smoke hose is loose inside and start coming out of the biggest opening which is the compartment door. You can see it is also wide open.
