Speaking of Germany, I bought a Heng Long King Tiger RC tank for my grandson. It's crazy ..either 1/14th or 1/16th scale. Engine start noises. Glycerin heater for fake diesel smoke. Rotating turret. Elevating main gun. Working hatches. Real treads. Individual suspension for each running wheel. Gun fires BB's. Speed adjusted to scale. Recoil on gun firing. Free Hitlerjugend membership. It's great! CD with the Panzerleid. Took me about 1 1/2 hr to put on all the exterior parts. Towing cables, axes, jacks spare track sections, mud flaps etc etc. Crazy. I needed a head lamp and tweezers and a magnetic screwdriver to get some of the GD parts on. Total nerddom. Turns out the King Tiger had two turret manufacturers...Porsche and Henschel. Unfortunately, the tank commander is all green and has no legs.

The manufacturers assembly instructions are a laugh riot. Considering how nicely the product is produced you would think they could hire a 10 yr old to do the translation.
