I am not sure tamiya did do one in this scale. Bandai did one in 24th and Tamiya did a 1/16th Tiger II, but i can't find any mention of a Tamiya 25th kit.

Hmmm, mybe I was wrong. I guess the large one I saw might have been 1/16th. That said makes no sense to me that they would offer those others in 1/25th and not the Tiger II.

I know what you mean. Those kits dates from the late 60's early 70's and they did have a 35th Tiger II out at that time. But i guess they figured a 25th kit was not justfied. Are you only looking for German kits as they did a couple of British and Soviet AFV's in that scale as well.

Yeah, just that particular one right now for the situation. Thanks for the help. going to search for that bandai one you mentioned.

Here 'ya go.

I built it back in '72.... kit #TAM 30611.

The interior detail really isn't up to snuff, but it'll pass if you aren't really into perfection.

Merry Christmas........

From memory, Tamiya's 1/25 range consisted of:

Tiger I (interior & no interior versions)

Centurion

Panther A

Jagdpanther

T-34/85

As far as I'm aware, that covers Tamiya's 1/25 offerings

Tamiya produced a King Tiger in 1/16 scale a while back. http://www.tamiya.com/english/products/56018kingtiger/

The only Tiger II that was made in a 1/24 scale was by Bandai with a Porsche turret. It had a complete interior including the Maybach V12 engine. I built it in 1977 when it first came out. I remember selling it around 1990 for $320 as a built model with zimmerit fashioned from Squadron green putty. I wish I still had it.

I still have the Jagdpanther that also has a complete interior but unfortunately VERY incorrect. Bandai decided to cut corners by putting their Tiger II interior in the Jagdpanther. I have been slowly making the corrections to represent the correct interior.

Yup, that's it.

I have the Tiger I sans interior sitting in the stash as we speak.

There was also a SU-100 and a Chieftain.

Shows how long it's been since I've thought about these kits. I'd forgotten the SU-100 and don't think I even knew abouth the Chieftain

Then go arround and check this list.

As all colleagues wrote, Bandai had had 3 models in 1-24 scale, all with interior, separated track links etc.- King tiger/Porsche turret, Jagdpanther and Panther G late version with kinn gun mantlet.

All are available on Ebay somethimes, but  the price is high.

Thanks again to all that have responded. I guess I was wrong and it was 1/16th that I saw. Pretty sure it was a tamiya kit. While I like the Porsche Turret (built the 1/35 Tamiya) Iwas looking for the production turrent Tiger II in a large scale. Don't care about it being radio controlled, that just adds to the cost. Will continue with a look at the links suggested. Thanks again to all.

Hobby Search Japan still have most of Tamiya's 1:25 armors for sale. These are Jagdpanther, SU-100, Tiger I, Centurion and T-34/85. Here's a link to the Tiger I (for other tanks, check "Other AFV Item" on their site):
