Anyone see this replica 1:1 Tiger?

Beats the heck outa CGI........................

That's awesome!  I loved watching the tracks and seeing how the snow stuck too them.  Also did you notice the inner road wheels and the un painted parts where they overlap?  Wonder if the Germans painted the road wheels prior to installation on real tigers or after.  I don't remember seeing any of the same paint patterns on Tigers in the field.

Wow thats awesome,even better then Pvt Ryan's T-34 Tigers

You have to wonder at what point did someone ask the question "Have you measured the doors yet?"

Nice job!

Yes the paint overlap shows the first footage is the initial trial of the tank. I am sure the inner road wheels will be touched up.

The only thing I see a tad out of scale is the side hull plates where the tow shackles are mounted. These should be approximately 2/3 the thickness with torch cut marks showing. 

Other than that its defiantly the closest to a real restored Tiger and a fraction of the cost! 

After the film I am sure there would be many interested buyers.

  I wonder about the scale. The real Tigers could NOT be driven with the drivers head out of the hatch like that. They have made some changes somewhere to be able to do that.

This sits on the throne of Awsome...Faint.

A mix of features from different Tigers that would never appear together. Problems with the shape, even though the exact dimensions are published. It could have been better at no extra cost.

I noticed that the running gear is more accurate. On the SPR one, you could easily spot the T-34 suspension.

 I didn't see any glass in the tank's driver's retracting visor assembly or a lens inside of the headlight assembly. I looked carefully and saw the headlight mounting plate but I didn't see the electrical conduit that connects to it.

 The tow shackles & upper top front fenders were too flimsy looking and the aforementioned torch cuts and plate thickness definitely weren't right, but considering that it isn't the real thing - it's the best and most convincing replica I've yet to see.

 The rear lower armored exhaust assemblies weren't featured and the exhaust shields weren't shaped properly. I couldn't see the actual exhaust pipes. I wonder what the top of the engine deck looks like?

 I think the driver was half standing in the first part to get the tank out of the shed and properly seated for the rest of the show and the guided back-up into the shelter.

Enough nitpickin'.....

LOVE the color! 

 I ain't complaining, I am impressed!

  I don't see anyone else doing one. At least some one gave it a very good shot.

   Thanks Tigerman,

I'm glad I didn't miss this.

An excellant replica to be sure,but overall it looks a bit small to me.I'd still take it.
