I have recently thought of getting a 1/16 scale Tank but that would be insane for me as I already have 50+ Tanks 1/35, plus x4 1/24, 1/18, 1/25, x4 1/30 ect, ect. The truth is, I really don't know anymore
The 1/25 Tiger 1 is my favorite of them all as it has most everything a larger tank has but is about half the size and along with my Helicopter, aircraft rc models, Drones etc, etc, I just have to draw a line somewhere else people may think I have lost my mind to these models!
So during the move the Tiger experienced some rough handling and suffered some battle damage.

- This is the way it came out of the storage container

Well I got to work on the broken Tiger and it all went back together just like it did from the box lol
It is back in the 1/24 Lineup.

- still running with the 1/24 pack.
