Oh dear Mr P. What devilment is this? With builds like yours, with all their little details and nuances could corrupt me. Thankfully Mr Bix’s modern builds brings me back to reality.
Another beautiful build.

Good Evening, Gentlemen,
Back from Gym and Physical Therapy: ( A lot of bending and walking ;0) Thank you for checking out the elder King Tiger. I remember the Hubbub when Heng Long made this available because many were saying, "At last, an Affordable 'Porsche' King Tiger!" I have to say that the Electronics have held up solidly but while cool for the day are very outdated now. That is part of the charm of having a running tank this old. ;o) I'm working on the Test Video for this vehicle and should have the link up in the AM.
Thanks again!!!
Painless

P.S. Mr. Bix is a Solid Link to what modern tanks have evolved to look like and model up as.... ;0)

Passing goodwill forward also has a downside !!

Good Morning,
Did a Countertop Test Video with the Aid of the Spouse! Around 3:44 minutes. This is all original from Heng Long Electronics and Sounds. The Smoker is rebuilt ( twice ) and the Convoy Light is an Add On.
Here is the Link for You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOn0X08smQs
regards,
Painless

P.S. See if you can catch the moment in the Video when I nearly have a Cardiac Arrest! ;0)

Good Morning, Alan!
Thanks for watching the video! You Tube let me post this with no issues. Non of my videos are monetized so that probably makes the difference. Yes, Me and the Mate laughed for 5 minutes at least after the video ended and the tank was still in one piece. Things like King Tigers barely fit on the counter for Test Videos. The sudden gear engagement and tendency for something that heavy to roll on after the motors stop is always 'fun'. Swapping them out for the 2nd King Tiger today so I'll start a new Thread for Part Two. Modern Electronics will make the next Tanks video less breath-taking. ;0)
regards,
Painless

Looks good, sounds good, and runs good. I too saw the cardiac moment. That would have been messy. We need some nice outdoor videos. :thumbup:

Good Morning, Mr. Rat!
Thanks for watching the Video! Yes, that old Beast can still do its Tricks. Been raining mixed with snow lately. I will see what I can do about running something outside soon.
