Hi, That is an old Mark 1 Tiger.
Contact Mark to upgrade it to one of the latest chain drive systems.
The old drive system you have is totally underpowered and you will have problems moving about on anything but a smooth tarmac or concrete susface.

Cheers
Tim

Yes that is the next big thing I'll do..right now it's just getting it cleaned and looking like a tank..I won't get my new van till next year and it won't fit in the car so that will give me time to save up the money and get it done..right now I'm just enjoying fixing her up and figuring out what paint to wash he.r with

Is the Kubel RC? Got video? Is that Matt Damon in the driver's seat? :)

That dollhouse in the background looks about the right size for 1/16, is that accurate?

Ok I have got her all Panser grey. Now I don't know if I should just number and weather her or go a full camo or even tan ect..ideas..plus I made my first error..I found the barrel was cracked and would just drop out so I put P40 on it and let it dry..at some point it had fell off my bench..I found it an hour later and it looked ok so I took it out in the sun to dry..didn't notice it had dropped back into the barrel and now it's back on the tank.....It's a wee bit too short lol....Mark1 to the rescue with a new barrel..
