1/25 Tiger 1 from 1987 survived the move with damage

Post by modler »

I have recently thought of getting a 1/16 scale Tank but that would be insane for me as I already have 50+ Tanks 1/35, plus x4 1/24, 1/18, 1/25, x4 1/30 ect, ect. The truth is, I really don't know anymore :S

The 1/25 Tiger 1 is my favorite of them all as it has most everything a larger tank has but is about half the size and along with my Helicopter, aircraft rc models, Drones etc, etc, I just have to draw a line somewhere else people may think I have lost my mind to these models! :problem:


So during the move the Tiger experienced some rough handling and suffered some battle damage.
