I think I Need One of These
Posted by Tojo72 on Wednesday, October 19, 2022 7:16 AM

Very impressive,a 1/16 Tiger I ,never went that big,but at $150.00 not a bad price considering the price of some 1/35 armor

If I ever get back to armor, this (particularly the already available Sherman) would be hard to resist for sure.

Something about big scale kits that draw me in.

   Already checking couch cushions for change. My wife simply rolled her eyes while I did alittle jig.

      Have the Sherman and it is a nice looking kit, the Das Werk Stug is ready for paint and was an absolute joy to build. Hard to say no to a Tiger.

Good price for the scale, but I wouldn't waste me time on a kit that big without it being FULL interior and pimp it out all the way.

   I would love to see a full interior, thus scale kinda begs for it. I would probably mortgage my home to buy it....I can live with a " curbside" tank. Still a TigerBig Smile

I am interested in the kit but I’m haven’t decided yet. There are a few errors that stick out to me and I’ll have to see what the final product looks like before making a decision.

Twenty years ago (wow, has it been that long?), I won the Tamiya 1/16th full RC Tiger I in an online contest. I always thought I would build it when I retired. I also got the non-RC Tamiya King Tiger.

Haven't touched either one.

I would love to tackle one of these but by the time exchange rate, taxes, customs and shipping are done I could probably buy a real tank for the cost!
