Hi Looks great, just one point the commanders cupola is on wrong it should be turned about 90 deg towards the loaders hatch . Is this the electric or petrol version.

Hi
Yes it's all metal, hull and deck are aluminium and the turret/barrel are steel. The commanders cupola spins 360 degrees so can be positioned anywhere. I have the original four stroke petrol engine but think I will be going with electric motors for versatility, what is the best sound system available for the Tiger?
Thanks
Russ

I haven't seen a particular tank to base it on yet, yes I have a dual action airbrush..
