If you have a part-built Mercedes 300SL from Eaglemoss, who closed down in 2022, we are happy to advise that our model is compatible with that version. If you would like to complete your 300SL you can fill in the form at the below link and let us know how far into your build you got. We will then be able to send you Packs from as close a point as possible to where you are up to. https://agoramodels.activehosted.com/f (this form is just for info - you are not committing to purchase anything from us at this point).

Now that we have finished Pack 12, the Leopard electronics are in place and many of us are ready to enjoy operating the remote control functions. We have put our first completed production model through its paces here at HQ and we feel there is room for improvement of some of the electronic features. We will therefore be issuing a complimentary extra Upgrade Pack to all customers to ensure optimum performance. This pack will include: 1. New PCB unit with revised idle sound and tank recoil movement. Replaces Pack 11 part 91-1 2. Harder spring for barrel up/down movement. Replaces Pack 2, Stage 10, part 10-2 3. Softer spring for barrel recoil. Replaces Pack 2, Stage 10, spring attached to part 10-1 4. New PCB from Pack 9, stage 75, part 75-1 5. New red/black cable from Pack 10, stage 82, part 82-1 6. Wheel suspension springs from Pack 6 (Stages 43–49); Pack 7 (Stages 52–58). These springs are the same as those also supplied in Pack 12. The new springs, currently also provided in Pack 12, give improved suspension over rough terrain. If you do not intend to operate your Leopard Tank, the original springs will not need replacing. For any new subscribers to the Leopard, this Upgrade Pack will be issued along with Pack 1 so that all the improved parts can be included over the course of the build. You will receive an email as soon as the upgrade Pack is ready to send to you. We hope you enjoy building and operating your Leopard Tank From the team at Agora Models

The Leopard is now complete and every bit the perfect replica of this outstanding Battle Tank. Some of you have reported a few issues with the electronics which our manufacturing team are currently working on. Meanwhile, there are a few easy fixes which we hope will help to resolve some of those problems while we await the results of our official enquiry. Ensure you have replaced the green circuit board (PCB) with the blue board supplied in pack 11. If the turret does not turn left and right smoothly, try loosening the screws shown in pack 12, page 41. The main gun may catch if there is some flash left on the turret front plate. Try filing away any excess as shown in pack 12, page 41. Don’t overfill the smoke chamber. Just a drop of 1–2 mls is enough The smoke takes about 30 seconds to heat up. If the remote control gives you an error message, check you have pressed the small pairing button on the top right corner of the control unit. See the final pages of Pack 12 build instructions for further details. For any other problems, please raise a ticket with our customer services team who will respond to each query on an individual basis. This will ensure you receive the correct parts if replacements are required, and the correct advice from our enquiry. Our team are working to resolve any problems as quickly as possible, and where replacement parts are necessary, we will send them as soon as they are available.

Which trains have international appeal? And what scale to do?

Hi, I have checked with the factory and I am happy to say that the hooks are not on our production version - they have been removed since the prototype.

Well spotted! (I assume you mean the ones that are inside just in front of the doors). These are images from the prototype which we make to spot any errors and ensure parts fit. We did send this off to an e-type expert who spotted the mistake, and I am glad to confirm that we have removed these inside ones.
