Nope..  

Is the Tiger a Tamy too? 

What else do you have in the barn at the moment?

I sold almost all my collection to a dr in NC. I only have my tiger collection. Erly. Late tiger 1. Stumtiger firing real rockets. All tamiya with wecohe upgrades. And my mato all metal pz3 and stug3. 3 tanks transpoters. 3 8x8 cargo trucks. Enough to scare u? Also a king sherman with camcoder turret. Scared now?

i am a fan of Mato all metal tanks. same even cheaper than tamiya, no brainer for me.

Well Dean is correct, the MSRP is 699 but these tanks are going for close to $600. 
mato metal tanks can NOT hold a candle to these tanks and I will go one step further and say these are even better than Tamiya tanks as well. Other than a few decorator parts these tank are all metal, the only part that is not is the upper deck. Turret etc is metal and the casting is a high quality.
track tensioners, 4 to 1 steel gearboxes, asiatam type recoil these things are decked out and have nothing to be desired.
The only issue is their electronics but if that is a real concern I am purchasing the Taigen boards out of the tanks IF a Clark board is bought with the tank.
Honestly this is one tank I can not wait to get to the battle day to show off. 
I hope my 2nd shipment gets here soon as I am already sold out.

The big issue is the plastic upper, heavy metal turret on plastic upper does not make sense to me. why not just go all the way metal. I will pass... Let me know when they release full metal.

My guess is the zim would give them too many headaches to do in metal. I don't think it's that bad a compromise depending on how they framed the upper for support of the turret. I will be curious to see this next battleday. You did keep one back didn't you Curtis? I know that the Taigen suspension system is considered the best in the field at the moment by a lot of guys...

I gaurantee you will all see one, I may leave the oustide stock and just put the clark board in it
