Depends what you are looking for. Schumo makes some good parts in cast metal but are becoming harder to find these days as they have been out of production for about 10 years. Many of their parts can be found on a google search. recently Shapeways also has some very nice 3d printed parts that I would use if I were building this tank again. Also since I built this tank I have released a large line of 1/16th scale parts for various tank the M26 included. My parts can be found here, eastcoastarmory.com/sherman_16.htm

the Markings on this one are the kit supplied water slide decals. There is no way I would be able to paint those mg can markings or the TO&E numbers free hand or even with a hand made stencil

I never use the tamiya spray paints. For the look you see on my builds I use my own mix for the paint, which is not something you can find in a store.

Thank you !

I sell the recharge cables, They just plug into the stock system. They are found on the ECA catalog, eastcoastarmory.com/sherman_16.htm . Let me know if you need any assistance, thanks

In my HL M26 videos I go over this in more detail, in a nutshell the HL is a water down Tamiya since they copied the tamiya model to make thiers but had to make some changes to it for ease of production and to lower the price point. In the end the detailing on the tamiya is better, but is more expensive. some of the changes that HL made was that they deleted the working bow hatches, they redesigned the shock absorber where there is a large exposed coil spring, they also changed the suspension type. The tamiya is more accurate, while HL to save on costs change out the inner spring system and simply placed their spring shock absorber on each suspension swing arm. Because of this the HL is very wrong in this respect. The barrel for the longest time on both the Tiger I and the M26 was too short, this was done so it can fit the box, The rear storage bin is the wrong shape because it makes it easier to mold, and just the over all moldings are softer in detail compared to the original tamiya tooling. Also letting you know the "metal Upgraded" HL track is garbage and breaks after not a lot of milage and is incorrect with the shape / details. The ones I have seen have no inner track pad molded in and it's a large cavity. On my builds the track I use is the metal one from mato, it is the best one on the market I found in terms of quality, materials used, and overall execution. they will time with the HL sprocket and I also believe the tamiya M26 model. I hope this helps

@@oddball759mm thank you so much for always giving such descriptive responses. I didn't know you had a video of the henglong M26 ill watch over it and save my money on buying a henglong.

@@mr.rajikon3911 yes I've done 2 HL m26 pershings at the moment, they can be found on the channel with at the following link, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eth6hqpmlqmoeas.html , kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bqmhgcJ81J-2nnk.html . the one is a multi part video series so there is a bit of info on each in these videos, enjoy :)

@@oddball759mm do you plan on doing any of the Armortek pershing builds once its out?

@@mr.rajikon3911 sadly no, it's just not in the budget. I do however have a 1/6th scale M26 in my collection. This one was scratch built many years ago and I made a video on the completed model, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kNxghsmm3pmUl58.html

Maribelle Portalatin yes

tha a real m1 carbine or a airsoft one

Maribelle Portalatin It's a real 1944 dated Inland with matching serial numbers.

it funsional? sory for the questions aim a big fan of weapons

and tanks

The problem with the HL M41 is that to save on tooling HL recycled many M26 parts. Because of this the model is not very dimensionally accurate. It makes for a fun RC tank, but not a finely detailed model.

Hello Daniel, I don't post price quotes on open comments, for pricing and option info email at the ECA email address info@eastcoastarmory.com there I can assist further.

If you think the tamiya is harsh, then you don't want to know what an armortek runs
