Welcome and congratulations!

Everyone here loves pictures so feel free to share some shots of your units.

Which Tiger I did you get? Early, mid war or late version?

I have an Early Taigen/Torro Tiger I and enjoy it.

Great, you have the one with the Feifel air cleaners. I think the more expensive Torro (Taigen is the brand in North America) are a great value for starters. Oh, to be sure, there are remarkably skillful builders here on RCTW who can do stunning replicas, even by 3D printing and/or scratch building. But the Torro AFVs are a good model as is and an fine basis for modifications. Then, too, your Challenger 2, depending on the version of electronics, offers advantages in an RC model of a contemporary tank. Fire away with questions and, yes, photos are welcome.
