Re: Vintage King Tiger Rebuild
That's good repair work! I suppose since it's raining all the time out there, you can hide indoors and hobby-ize.
Gee, in the photos I see a familiar set of nut drivers: they must be what drove me nuts. And that barbecue sauce in the yellow tub: is that for when the Tiger lights up Shermans on the grill?

Re: Vintage King Tiger Rebuild
Looks like the old speed control went up !!?
Did you get hold of a rear plate ?
I have a TAMIYA rear plate, with a hole in it, that I got for free, happy to pass it forward if you can’t get anything else ,for free.
Good luck bringing the old horse back to life, it will be well worth the effort

I will take you up on that! I will pay the postage. The parts tree that piece is on is discontinued and nonexistent anywhere.

Re: Vintage King Tiger Rebuild
Hi,dont know how far you are going to upgrade this but the original turret rotation unit is very well engineered but bulky. If you search RC Universe site and look for a build of a Tamiya Porsche King Tiger by PCOMM1 you will see he incorporated the old turret rotation unit with Tamiya late model electronics. You said the muzzle brake is broken. Do you need another one as I have one you can have. Regards John.
