So i just bought a limited edition forces of valor king riger 1:16 scale static model. Is it ossoble to convert it into a working rc model? If so what must it undergo to be able to run off rc?

YHR converted the Sherman but with the models available now it would probably be cheaper and easier to use a dedicated rc model from the start.

A Forces of Valor King Tiger, the 1 that comes in an ammo crate and I've only seen in Ebay for $2000 and up, THAT King Tiger? Are you nuts or rich? I'm sure you could do it but why would you? Those things are super rare and if you got it for less then $2000 I'd sell it for the profit and buy a fully optioned Tamiya King Tiger to build.

I understand it is a rare model and the one that i bourht comes with the wooden box and the original forces of valor ahipping box serial number 19. I just wanted to know if it was possible to make an rc tank out of it without having to sacrafice any of the interior works since its the only model ove ever seen in this scale with even interior replication. I think it would be a rare and even more good looking tank if you coukd converg that master piece into a fully functioning tank

They're not worth 2 grand, they come up in the uk for serveral hundered rather than thousand quid

Hmm i dont know about the uk but in the us the prices are between $1500 to $2000 usd. Which is less in £ british pounds

I think the were about £400 ish new.

Couple recent sales on eBay

Either way it's not something you want to be rcing

If you could get $1500-2000 for it and want something RC have you considered selling it and buying or commissioning a fully upgraded Tamiya King tiger? You'd get a proper RC tank which would be better detailed and painted than the fov one.

Trumpeter do a few 1/16 kits with full interiors.

I think their KT also comes with a clear hull so you can see the inside detail.

Both those sale were because they were in used condition. I got one that is still unopened and new. As far the rc tank i already own 4 at the moment i just was curious about ita possibility and i would not ruin such an expensive model.

As far as the trumpeteer models i had no idea of their existence
