Congrats on this acquisition. Can't say I haven't looked at it before in my addicted addled search for all things RC Tiger. Best luck, I look forward to see how your emerging project progresses.

Need to loosen up those tracks though... :) I've had good luck with the metal HL chassis for both the Abrams and the T72/T90. Should serve you well.

Before some of the regular Schmucks may reply "Oh wow a Tiger I", I will say tremendous choice, and am looking forward to the progression! Yes I'm a Sherman fan, but have to tip my hat at your build! That chassis looks superb.

Thank you gents for your comments, I had my eye on it for a while, I didnt need it as I have no shortage of tanks in limbo
but was given the full blessing from the wife so I pulled the trigger, The tracks in the photo do look rather tight but less so when
its on all fours, thats not saying it wont need some tweaking after a little run around.
I have the Taigen upper and early turret with servo recoil from Dave (FORGEBEAR TANKS) also the 7.1 MFU, which I think is spot
on for what I want and it sounds excellent.
This will make 4 Tiger 1 now plus the Sturm so dont need any more of these LOL. :thumbup:

Regards John :wave:

Funny you should mention Klarna. I just bough a new sofa using that so I could buy a new tank.

The sofa is to keep the boss happy because the new tank is 800 quid
