Good Evening,
This will be a fun build to follow. I had read a review of this Tiger on one of the static modeler's forums with an eye to Radio Control and am very interested in your impressions of the tank as you build it.
regards,
Painless Wolf

Brother, you shouldn't have
Good to see that you have ventured away from the Tammy tanks, one cannot be a Master till he has experienced it all. As Gordo (Wildboar) would say, "Tank on". I'll be tracking this one...

P.S. Any e-mails yet from my boys?

Ok guys, don´t want to kill your euphoria, but this kit is exactly the same RC-Tank WSN Tiger I. It is just disassembled. Ok, you have more decals and photo etched parts. And it is a good static model. But it is a WSN.
So if you want to have it moving, it is cheaper to by a WSN and upgrade it.
Greetings

I used one of these for my late tiger I grafted the upper hull to an asiatam lower did a few mid to late changes and grafted some sturmtiger wheels to it and it runs ace even with the kit tracks and I have since then grafted the outer wheels with rubber tyres to heng long ones which are also on an asiatam chassis for my girlfriends early tiger

I have one on order too - looks like a good cheap static build.

No big deal.
Maybe I didn´t make myself clear enough.
We had the same discussion on our German forums when this one was put to the market.
Everybody was like "Yeah, Hobby Boss has a Mid-Tiger on the board. Wonder how this one is".
No doubt, this kit is a good one. It looks good but it is nothing new. It is just a WSN-Tiger I as a kit without the electronics and without mechanical parts.
My point is, if you just want to have a static modell, this one is fine. And it is prepared for RC because it is an RC without the RC parts.
That is what I wanted to say. Nothing more and nothing less.
And of course, there should be a build report, please.
