With its die cast construction and plastic detail parts, this 1:56-scale die cast model not only looks like the real thing, but acts like it, too. This tank has two micro-motors that operate tracks individually, so collectors can steer and pivot for close combat. The tracks are made of rubber, so climbing and descending slopes is a breeze. It requires three AAA and one 9-volt battery. “In one package, you get a product that is fun, a collectible, and teaches history,” Sarah Broadwater of Historic Sales told TDmonthly. Launch date: November 2006.
