Well at $6000 bucks for a 1/6th scale the math is simple......................six times bigger = $36K Try buying one second hand then ??!!
I give you the tip that if a man could buy a Tiger 1 Mid, full scale, and have the option to operate it like the real thing but simplified, for $36 grand, I reckon they would sell a boat load of them !!!
Sure would make the wifes Mazda seem a little insignificant when Ive got meself a replica Tiger I need to get space for eh !!
Crikey, those guys are tapping into a goldmine.

Remember VERIO GUYS? This may be his stuff being re-marketed? I have asked my pal Vincent to check this out.

But, for the cost and considering the distance and any issues ARMORTEK Owners forum is a excellent source for pre=purchased kits as many have been offered during the recent economic times for some real bargain prices,. And parts are always available through Armortek if you break something, Also the upgrades are easier to obtain and purchase. Just saying fellows this company is not offering anything we do not already have, for less money and hassle.

Unfortunately to get from 1:6 scale to 1:1 is not a simple 6x multiplication

It is more of a volume scale up so it would be 6x 6x 6x $6,000= $1,296,000.00 :(

No no, in my fantasy commute to work in MY tiger 1 its not a scale cost !!!
If the Chinese could not produece a 1:1 tiger for the cost of a Camry, then they are paying their workers like westerners !
And that anint happening any time soon. :haha: :haha:
