Congrats on this acquisition. Can't say I haven't looked at it before in my addicted addled search for all things RC Tiger. Best luck, I look forward to see how your emerging project progresses.

Need to loosen up those tracks though...

I've had good luck with the metal HL chassis for both the Abrams and the T72/T90. Should serve you well.

Before some of the regular Schmucks may reply "Oh wow a Tiger I", I will say tremendous choice, and am looking forward to the progression! Yes I'm a Sherman fan, but have to tip my hat at your build! That chassis looks superb.

Thank you gents for your comments, I had my eye on it for a while, I didnt need it as I have no shortage of tanks in limbo
but was given the full blessing from the wife so I pulled the trigger, The tracks in the photo do look rather tight but less so when
its on all fours, thats not saying it wont need some tweaking after a little run around.
I have the Taigen upper and early turret with servo recoil from Dave (FORGEBEAR TANKS) also the 7.1 MFU, which I think is spot
on for what I want and it sounds excellent.
This will make 4 Tiger 1 now plus the Sturm so dont need any more of these LOL.
Regards John

Funny you should mention Klarna. I just bough a new sofa using that so I could buy a new tank.

The sofa is to keep the boss happy because the new tank is 800 quid
