[/quote] the Tiger and it blows up when the plane flys over check out the drivers vision slits, they are dummy and the whole tank is wooden so that it can be blown up on camera!

Sad I know, but funny![/quote]

I had an opportunity to see this dio in person at Baycon back in 2006. It was very impressive indeed.

Quoted Text

Watch the film, the moment Tom Hanks fires the pistol at the Tiger and it blows up when the plane flys over check out the drivers vision slits, they are dummy and the whole tank is wooden so that it can be blown up on camera!



Surely not

And there I was thinking that it was a REAL Tiger

Ver y nice effort on the dio - you've obviously put a lot of work in. Well done. I also echo what Frank said about "more pics please".
