So a Tiger I is a new model tank, huh, now who woulda thought anyone would ever call a Tiger I a new model R/C tank? :haha:

The recoil and bb fire is neat! :thumbup:

Sadly, the recoil doesn't have the all-important slow return - but for an air-soft model this is certainly an improvement.

On the other hand, if this is Taigen's best choice for a promo: gawd help 'em!

In RL the recoil is from oil filled "shock absorbers" I'm guessing? Not sure what the mechanism is.

Another step up at least. There have been small improvements made over the years to this model.

It would be interesting to see the timing of the flash with the recoil BB. It looks better than the stock HL recoil already.

Doesn't look like there will be any muzzle flash...not even Deitrich's / Saxon's design is there flash...
