Found a very interesting King Tiger 1/4 scale with an actual working 1/4 scale 12cyl petrol engineImage

It's really incredibly designed. Enjoy

It is very cool. I'd say the ultimate scale experience. The working fans the starting of the engine smoke billows out very cool indeed. I've seen some 1/6 scale tigers with electric motors and dummy petrol engines that have electric motors drive the belts and drive accessories under the engine deck to make them look the part..... Very cool indeed but this is really super

https://www.thewimmeratiger.com Check this website out. It mentions the development of the V12 unit. Then there was a link was posted here once before for a 1/5 scale Tiger that had a 150cc V12 unit in it. Can't find the thread just now, but here's the original Youtube vid:
