Title: Tiger 1 1/35 scale
Post by: GDS_Starfury on February 24, 2013, 11:27:52 PM
possibly the most definitive and detailed model out of the box.  to get the same results you would have to be a Tiger kit and tons of aftermarket supplies.

Very cool

I did the conversion its $502.  You would want to make sure that you had the skills before plonking down that much money.  But if you did have the talent to do it justice it would be a work of art

Yikes, and I used to struggle with the ideas that Fruil's were too expensive!

That is an impressive kit but one that I could never justify buying as I could not do it justice.

Sorry boys, but I think this is the one you want;

1/4 scale RC, although he does on in 1/6 scale as well. Even more impressive is the 1/4 scale Tiger II.

Drool!

I'd really like a 1:1 scale, but you're right, Bob, that would be cool.

Unfortunately, they are pretty expensive as well, especially if you want the top-of-the-range model with all the optional stuff, like exhaust smoke generators and digitised sound, both of which are linked to speed controls. All very impressive, and there are several youtube clips showing them in action.

Of course, if you want a real one......
