A Tiger 1 treat.

[Son of a gun-ner]

Hi people. I stumbled on this video last night.

And as it's Tiger1 month, I thought I'd share.

Edit: ignore this next paragraph, I had a senior moment
"As for the treat, pay close attention at the beginning, around 15 seconds in, and check out the early wheel configuration " turns out it has transport tracks on with the outer four wheels removed

At least the video is still a good 15 minutes of a Tiger1 fans time

Watch "15min/ Tiger Footage pt1 - 8000 Subscriber special - Panzerkampfwagen VI" on YouTube

Very interesting footage, Mick. I screenshot a still from it, to highlight the wheel configuration...

Oh bugger, I've just realised, that's with transport tracks

I think I need more sleep

Ah...Tempus Fugit
Useful details, though, if you're starting out on building a Jimster style Tiger.

Definitely transport track set up. Very cool video. Looks like TOTM entry #7 Training Tiger.

Something more like this? Definitely an Eastern Front thing.

No sign of any movement of the tank when it fires the gun, thats rules out the hull judder function and the real ones look as if its one track powered up for turning to save wear and tear. Wonder how the tank club battles set rules or is it anything is game?

Doing the Tiger justice is almost impossible , hardest part is getting the road wheel bars to push up the hull to give the correct angle between the centre of the 1st road wheel and the centre of the sprocket . As more metal is added it sits lower, has anyone fitted rc car shocks or just fixed the front 2 road wheels to push the front up?
