Paladin is a really cool self-propelled gun. :D I'm a retired artillery officer, and I used it when I was in the military. One thing to tell you is that self-propelled guns must hang their main guns on the main gun lockers when they move. Otherwise, the life span of the main gun will drop or the shooting accuracy will be a problem.
The company named TONGDE, a new RC tank manufacturer from China, DKLMRC is one of their distributors. You can purchase the Howitzer using the link below. www.dklmrc.com/product/m2109m2019um2019
Tongde should have corrected the gun recoil movement. Its totally unrealistic. If they can do it correctly for the churchill, why can't they do the same here?
@@kokhowe this one is firing BBs with recoil function, compare to previous models only fire BBs without recoil function, its an improvement already. I will offer flash and recoil version after the preorder finish.
The only thing life like about the movement of this very nice looking model is the turret rotation everything else is generic tank model movement, the M109 can't pivot steer, the gun elevation is to fast, the gun recoil is feeble compared to the real thing and the driving movement lacks momentum and inertia also the exhaust needs a big upgrade but one has to start somewhere, Good Start!
Interesting... the transmitter for the Tongde looks just like ones that Heng Long uses (Different decals obviously). Either they outsource to the same supplier, or the two companies are owned by the same person/group.
@@Reindeer911 Tongde are not Heng Long, they are different company, and Tongde is new comers for RC tank industry, they follow the Heng Long style at the beginning. But changing day by day.
Looks really cool, six movable hatches, you can definitely do some further detailing. If the price is right and it should come to Germany at some point, I would buy it.
