Decent 1/350 DDG-51 USS Arleigh Burke RC model for cheap

Post by RobRomero »

COPIED FROM AN EARLIERY POST OF MINE:
I recently bought 2 used or returned Radio-Controlled vessels on Ebay from Hobby Tron (Heng Tai) as display models for a grand total of $40 each. The ships I’m aware of are listed below -there may be more than these or future additions.

Hobby Tron/ Heng Tai RC Ships
HT-2878F “Challenger Aircraft Carrier Battleship” (1/350 Kiev Class Aircraft Carrier)
HT-2879A “Smasher Destroyer” (1/200 Sovremenny Class DDG)
HT-3826A Missouri/Kiev Hybrid FANTASY SHIP
HT-3827A Bismarck (1/360 Bismack)
HT-3831 ???
HT-3833B USS Wasp Amphibious Assault Ship (1/350 LHD-1 USS Wasp Amphibious Assault Ship)

Though not super detailed and NOT for rivet counters, the two I bought - the 1/350 Kiev Class Aircraft Carrier “Challenger Aircraft Carrier Battleship” & 1/200 Sovremenny DDG “Smasher Destroyer” - are decent representations [particularly the Sovremenny] of these ships with a nice presence (due to their 30” size) and solid heft for a reasonable price. With a nice paint job, I think these can become good if not great representations of these ships. Unfortunately, they come festooned with “Stickers” which need to be removed or at least painted over.

NEW POST:
IT NOW APPEARS A Decent 1/350 DDG-51 USS Arleigh Burke RC HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE Heng Tai FOLD. I ordered mine “on sale” for $20 USD.

Your post doesn't include a working link. If you just copy whats in the address box that should work a lot better.

MAJOR CORRECTION!

I just received the model of the 1/350 DDG-51 USS Arleigh Burke and it is not RC! It may not even be from Heng-Tai (It certainly does not have the heaviness of those models). However, I still feel that for $20 or less it is still a good value but it does need to be repainted to acheive a more "realistic" look.
