Hi All, built this over Christmas but never got around to posting it. My full option Tiger 1! First thing you notice about these are the size of the box it comes in, it is absoultely huge. Jet black with an outline of a Tiger 1 in white on it, Mr T sure knows how to package his toys.
Build is fairly straight forward with Tamiyas instructions but space is a real limitation within the hull, getting all the electronics and turret motors in so they dont foul or snag was a bit of a mission to say the least. I made a few changes to the original with the inclusion of metal tracks and main barrel, plus bearings on all wheels (Yes, count them!).


I've been running it when I get the chance since the New Year and it's slowly getting weathered by mother nature herself with mud splashes etc, and the tracks and suspension are now more fluid.

It is definately worth the money (which is not to bad when buying through HongKong), it is so relaxing to drive, with the gearbox, engine, gun sounds etc on, its very realistic. I dont think I will ever get bored watching the wheels within the tracks articulate over ground. Definately a keeper, I've just spent the last hour running it in the sun with a smile on my face. Comments/advice as ever more than welcome

Yes, the teddy did get it!
