Hi all,

Well, I just couldn't resist......this Tiger was offered for such a low price I just had to buy it!



The Tiger is a Tamiya full option model, controlled with a Robbe Skysport 4 transmitter.

Although the previous owner cleary made a nice model out of it, I still want to rebuild the tank.

I've decided to rebuild my tank into a hybrid Tiger belonging to Gruppe Fehrmann, a unit which consisted out of 6 hybrid Tigers and 5 Panthers.







There's already been a lot of discussion about the colours of the F13 Tiger. I will just base my paint scheme on the information I'm currently collecting, and see what I find most logical and accurate.

Some more pics:

You must be very close of having a complete RC Army by now, Martin... :-)

Good luck with your new Tiger,

Erik

Well I now have the Pershing (finished, full option), Sherman (still building, will have most full option features once finished), and the Tiger (full option, only battle unit is missing)

Well, no more new tanks for a while now :-) To **** expensive

1st update: Battle Unit installed! The Tiger is battle ready now!

Now I need some advice....the recoil unit is making a awefull sound. When I fire the gun you can hear it.

Any ideas what it can be? I check the unit already and there's nothing visible blocking or jamming the unit...
