What Does Your 1/16 Tank Weigh?

Post by Jimster »

Just for the fun of it I thought it would be interesting to see how much our tanks weigh. My Tiger weighs 14.3 pounds or 6.48 kg. That includes the battery. Of course it’s on a strict diet of T-34sImage

Yours has been on a Leningrad diet, Jim, don't forget ;) This is my Winter Tiger 1 (the very first Tiger I tinkered with). as you can tell by the novice finish on it. It's a Taigen with metal turret, hull, wheels, tracks etc., and Clark TK20. It makes an excellent ersazt dumbell. :lolno:
It weighs in at 8.6kg (18.96 Lbs, or thereby). I shall be selling it in the New Year, unless Omicron gets me first. :/ I have a 'metal edition' Torro King Tiger that probably weighs more than this, but it won't fit on the scales!.

Good Morning,
My 'Crackerbox Palace' KVll Capture 754r build weighs 22+ pounds. I notice that these new Taigen Torro metal tanks are fairly heavy as is the single all metal Mato M36 I have rebuilt. Haven't weighed those.
regards,
Painless

I'm just waiting for one of the Armortek elite to come in with one of their scales-busting, toe-crushing, suspension-straining Tigers. ;) :D

1/6 Armortek can’t play. Only 1/16th scale. However their 131 Tiger is listed at nearly 287 pounds(130 kg for all you Europeans)! Or 20.5 stones.
