After convincing my wife that I needed a new toy (read: model) to go with the new model room I will have once we move into our new house (not soon enough), she LET me buy an 1/16 R/C Pershing. Not only does my King Tiger now have an opponent, but my 1/35 Pershing now has a big brother!! Can't wait to get building!!

(seen here next to the 1/35 Tamiya Pershing)

That certainly is one heck of a "toy"!
Cudos to your wife!

mwahaha! but it has allready been sighted by MY king tiger! MWAHAHAHAHA!! say goodbye to mr.pershing!! :-)

wow!that thing looks huge next to the 1-35th scale version!!!!your a lucky man my wife would kill me if i brought that beast home...

Yeah I got lucky with my wife. I already own the 1/16 King Tiger, its currently under repair (needs repainting), now this puppy!! Also, (and much to my surprise and delight) she is okay with my purchasing the other 2 Tamiya R/C tanks (Shermie and Tiger I) WOOHOO...I figure spend while I can, before the lit'luns come along!!

I was a good boy last year and managed to get the 1/16th Tiger and the Pershing, I'm adding the finishing touches to the Pershing now.

Tanks Out

WOW THATS HUGE!!!! I was contemplating getting the sherman for my B-day, but i decided i would wait till some veitnam era RC Armour in this scale came out, is there any? Do you build them as RC or just models? also do they come with the remote? cheers have fun!

Tankleader, would love to see pics, if you have means with which to take em!

Lestweforget, I build them to play with, but have every intention of giving it the full treatment like my 1/35 models (weathering and all). Unfortunately they don't come with the Transmitter/reciever, or battery and charger. A four channel radio (you can use the sherman w/ 2ch.) and batteries and charger ran me less than $200. I'm also into R/C so I already had the batteries (was just addin em in for $$ sake) As for Vietnam era stuff, I don't think Tamiya has any. All I know of from big "T" is Tiger I, Tiger II, Sherman, and the Pershing. I hear they are planning on releasing a Leopard (which version I don't know) now if only I could convice them to make a T-34!!
