| You should expect Hooben Quality when ordering a Hooben.
I forsee that laser pointer when the gun fires being a huge lawsuit... |

| Love the Markava in general but the MK IV is not my cup of tea. The turret look too much like a UFO and throw the who tank out of proportion. Give me a Mk III or a Mk I even. I will just keep my resin Mk III shelf queen and ogling at it once in a while.  |

| I wish it was a MK I or MK II as I like the sleek streamlined turrets.
That turret is massive (I do love the chain skirt armor on the turret however). |

| Maybe it is the same tank rebatch. What are the chances of both of them making the same tank same mark ? |

| Yeah I don't know what is going on. There is pictures with it, and then there is pictures without. It is about as secretive as the T-14 Armata, but Hooben and Heng Long is definitely using different blue prints. Hooben also has the "Trophy" acive counter measure and I don't see that on the Heng Long. It could be that it is an add-on piece from Heng Long.
No pre-ordering or buying either until I see the end product. |

| My experience with Hooben Cromwell is that it is bascally a 3D printed tank so I expect the Merkava to be the same so unless something is really wrong with the Heng Long one that's the one I would go for. Injection mold is still my preference. |
