HUGE 1/6 Tiger I Under Construction

Modeling Subjects Armor

Here’s a photo showing the monsterous hull of my all metal 1/6 (ONE SIXTH) scale Tiger I alongside “little brothers” in 1/72 and 1/16 scale.

When complete, my BIG Tiger I, “Sina”, will have full RC capability, motor sound, gunfire, smoke, and cannon recoil. It will have a maximum speed of 4 mph (scale speed 24 mph). and weigh over 200 pounds.

I will have to watch out for the neighbor’s small children and pets!

Load up the wife and kids and go for a little cruise around the neighbourhood.

I went and looked at the manufacturer’s site, quite impressive beasts.

FINALLY !!! Got a link to my image uploaded!!!

There are a lot of incompatabilities between these image hosting servers, due to security, or proprietary reasons, or whatever.

Anyway, the BIG Tiger I is a reality. It is a bolt-together kit, which is of very hiigh quality, but the sheer size makes every “little” consideration an interesting problem in itself!

ARMORTEK has a forum of owners at their website http://www.armortek.co.uk , where non-owners can read commentary on the construction of these model beasties!

Best regards,
