non SS Tiger £20
SS upgrade kit £34
Metal upgrades £100+/- (got some good deals on ebay)

Selling off the bits I'd replaced £40 (including the smoker)

Total - £114 give or take a few bob.

The most I've paid for a tank is £57 for a Matorro King Tiger that was listed as faulty but worked fine once I put the tracks on properly.

Although I have a full Elmod Tiger which has set me back more than I care to think about, I also built a fully operational battle tank, a Bulldog, with the objective of minimal cost. The basic tank cost about £70 with metal tracks and gearboxes, and the Darkith battle system was about £60. I also added Graupner 400's. No metal tools etc, I just painted the plastic ones to save money. Total cost around £150?

Hi there , I used to buy most upgrades and some times scratch build . Im curently out of work. Im working on a late war Tiger 1 luckly I have bourght most of the upgrades. With the exception of the Asiatam tub which I bourght of her ( Thanks Rik)
