So true, however, the Tamiya Tiger I and Pershing were my favorite kits of all time. Nearly worth the money to me for the enjoyment of assembly (thankfully I swindled Sassgrunt out of both of them - see still cheap).ColemanCollector wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 2:53 pm Welcome from Ontario,Canada!
A good approach. Get the swearing out of the way with the Challenger, and then enjoy the smoothness of assembling the Tamiya kit. I saw one in a hobby shop once and asked the price. The clerk answered, looked at me and said, "Did you just say, "gulp" ?!"

Re: Hello Everyone
Couldn't agree more on the Tamiya Tiger 1. It was my first tank kit build. I totally enjoyed building it and it was a huge learning experience for me and introduced me to how RC tanks work. I liked building it so much I tore it down a few years ago and rebuilt it and it was just as much fun. I still might buy another one in the futureEcam wrote: ↑Mon Oct 27, 2025 4:03 pmSo true, however, the Tamiya Tiger I and Pershing were my favorite kits of all time.
