I noticed this in the description " the kit is a simplified version consists of over 460 parts"
A simplified version of what?
Hobbyboss 1/16th tiger.

Sadly i think its a simplified version of a decent model - more of a mongrel than moggie. The tracks probably account for 1/3 of the parts count.
Most of their 1/35 models are pretty good quality and very detailed which makes me think this is re-use of someone else's mould - its pretty simple and clearly designed with electrics in mind - I don't know the WSN Tiger enough to say whether it is theirs.

Re: Hobbyboss 1/16th tiger.
If you look at the pics in the link above you will see there is a battery compartment underneath the hull - I believe the WSN Tiger is designed to run on ordinary batteries. Perhaps someone can clarify...

There are two bits I DO like though - nice pe engine grills and an interesting zimmerit tool. Would be great if someone could sell these separately.

Re: Hobbyboss 1/16th tiger.
The battery compartment in the lower hull is identical to the one in my Torro/WSN T34/85, so regrettably it is just the WSN Tiger without the bits to make it go!tanks_for_the_memory wrote:If you look at the pics in the link above you will see there is a battery compartment underneath the hull - I believe the WSN Tiger is designed to run on ordinary batteries.

Got one if these yesterday for £60 - looks pretty good for a static build!
