My New 1/6 King Tiger from "Mark 1"

[Steve_The_Tank]

Yesterday i got my 1/6th King Tiger

well to be totally honest i cant see me using my Tamiya tanks now
however i am glad i did have the Tamiya King Tiger and Tiger 1
because at least i know how to handle a Remote Contol

yesterday it was something else, example the rain was coming down like there is no tomorrow, and getting the Tank in the 4x4 was to my surprize was very easy from Mark
but it was my turn to get it out at mine, i was nervy to say the least

i got a couple of folded ramps which did the job really well after a bit of sweat at first
i got it safely to the ground from the 4x4 PHEW!!!!

1st run in the park "today" pics

enjoy














after 1hr in the park i am much better with the remote, it was really easy to pick up
and got it home all buzzing

thanks Jack and Pete

Hi Cliff yeah we deffo catch up we are very close together
i like the sound of a club meet as well because i am an easy going guy
and love to see other peoples Tanks and storys

all tough my movements are slow with a false limb i do try and get out much as i can
i dont let me stop me doing much , give me a chair i am happy days anyway


so Cliff what did you get 2nd hand? was it on e-bay? i think i used tank is a better tank anyway because when i was getting mine there was a used tiger 1 which was sold for a customers behalf and the grime and knocks etc just makes them look awsome "i have to wear mine in due course LOTS!!"

im not a hands on guy ie love building things however i love WW2 history

speak soon from Steve

Nice to see you getting it out. Sorry, you know what I mwan. At least you have a 4x4. I have a mini. Mine is all stripped down at present. Adding some new bumpstops and fitting motors. Hope to get a coat of dark yellow on the hull tomorrow. I know what you mean about the 1/16. THEY JUST CANNOT COMPARE.

over 1 to say the BIG boy is in town

hopefully it get delivered on Monday to go out on Tuesday
