Tiger on the move.

Needed to move out the Tiger today. Definitely needs boards to indicate wide loads.

It just fits on the transporter but it does look good altogether

Looks cool Ian. Since I know very little about the RC trucks (although some of the Tamiyas 1/14 ones I have seen in the flesh look amazing) does the extra weight of the Tiger help in driving outside?

You need a couple of these hanging banners (or in German: "Breitladung")

One of my favorite stories from the "Combat History" of the 503rd is near the beginning of the book, describing young Alfred Rubbel's first 'encounter' with a new Tiger:

Ohhh look he loves his Tiger Sooo Much he built a trucky to ferry it around like a baby buggy

Ahh the precious moments...

These HuiNa trucks are awful. More expensive than WPL, but come without suspension or even proportional steering, and the speed is on or off. This has a WPL system to gain proportional speed control, and steering. They do need additional weight, to get them to run on flat ground. These photos are just posed, so I did not actually run it with the tank on. I was quite surprised at how well it did when I ran it with just the trailer empty. The original comes with quite a weighty metal cab, with additional metal weights fitted. Having a plastic cab, and the weights were not fitted, it did lift the front wheels, so no steering.

Ian, if that's a Taigen Tiger I with the metal lower hull, it is, indeed, heavy. But I do not find the width and the tracks overhanging each side any surprise at all. A contemporary MBT would surely overhang even more.

To support overhanging tracks on modern trailers swing out extenders are used, the grey things in the pics on the side of the bed, which you can add planks to to help keep the tracks up.

The fauldy oot bits are moulded on the trailer, but are none working.

To be different, all the signage, and warnings need to be in Danish. I’m working with a Danish modelling group on this, to get a reasonable representation.
And, no that is definitely not a euphemism.

This is just me messing around. The tank is my Tamiya/Hobby Boss mash up, so not as heavy as my Taigen.
In the real world, a trailer like this would be too small to carry a Tiger’s weight. When it comes to play, my good nephew, and the wee lad next door, are not to bothered bout total accuracy. MBT’s, strangely, are slightly narrower, but are far too long for this trailer.
