This is totally new to me, but may not be to some of you. Regardless, this is awesome and I never knew about it:

It's armor may not be the correct thickness, but that's still impressive, at least IMO.

Not sure, but this could be the finished product.

Can you imagine the grief his wife gives HIM! Thats awesome, maybe some of the TV?Movie production companies will hire him.

Hi Conor,

This is really great, thanks for posting!

Now, I would like to order this, but I'm really worring about the shipping cost to Italy...

Cheers

Blimey. Anyone any idea if those are balancing weights on the road wheels? Does that need to be done on a tank? How light it must be compared to a real Tiger, see how much the front lifts up when the power is applied.

Hi
Now that's nice
Those aren't balancing weights it looks like they sprayed the Panzer Grey with all wheels on & that's the colour that's behind the front wheels . Yeah tanks lift up as the power is applied .

That armor plating looks kind of thin!

I think the bar just dropped a little bit.

It looks like a great build. It could probably use a little more weathering though.

Hi

not the first.

this guy did it in Germany a few years ago. He's gone on to work on putting a real one together from bits as I understand it, but here is his "homemade" version

The Kurland Tiger looks more the part. Checked Google but can't find anything about it being finished. The amount of effort and skill never ceases to amaze me.
