Wow, what an accomplishment! As an Australian with parents from Hamburg it is awesome to see this exists, can't wait to visit!
Yooo the new 1/1 tamiya kit looks sick
😂
$39.95?
Lol
Awesome comment 😂 must have built 4-5 of those 1/35 Tamiya tigers over the years. Great memories. Don’t think this one would fit in my house, much less my display cabinet 😂😂😂
Watching you put the camouflage on the tank put the biggest smile on my face 😊Excellent job And not easy ! 👍
It's amazing how beautiful, square, heavy and super armored the Tiger I can be, my favorite tank 😊
Thanks for that superb story about a Tiger 1 tank, keep up the good working, greetings from belgium FN Motorcycles Oldtimers;
I've really got into these builds and have watched 3 tanks getting put back together. With great care. We'll done guys guys.
Fantastic! Congratulations to all involved with a labour of love. Yes, it was made to be a killing machine but it's very important to preserve these weapons of war given their historical importance.
The dedication is impressive, thank you men for contributing toward worthwhile posterity. .
Hello ! First of all, congrats for the astonishing work done, really great job!
But, I don't know if I am the first to tell you, but at 41'42", when you say "we were lucky to find " original " periscopes for the Tiger."..Well, the one we see on the video is marked APX L794B, which is Atelier de construction de PuteauX (APX), a town in the suburbs of Paris ( France). The model L794B was used mainly for the french tank AMX13.
Maybe he just took the wrong periscope...😊
Thanks anyway for saving those great vehicles !
Love to see another Tiger I running
What a stunning work! Thank your for the video!
Regards from Germany
You guys have the best job ! Great work.
Senza dubbio il miglior carro armato della seconda guerra mondiale seguito dal Tiger 2 , se fosse entrato in linea di combattimento all’inizio del 1942 e in maggior numero, poi anche il Tiger 2 , la seconda guerra mondiale avrebbe avuto un’altro esito, però con i se e con i ma si sono perse le guerre quindi accettiamo lo “status quo”. Complimenti a coloro che hanno lavorato veramente dei “maestri “
That was great! 👍
14:00- incorrect, the electrodes were the same size as today. Each weld took several passes. Forced labor late in the war tried to place electrodes in the groove,then weld over it. If they were cought doing this,they were shot for sabotage.
Can’t wait to see her around under her own power again!
What a fantastic video and what a fantastic project ! SO well done down to the most minute of detail. And the superbe craftsmanship is breathtaking. Having had this interest over the past 20 years and done some research on my own, as well as followed the "gurus" on Tigers (Jentz, Doyle and Byrden) I cannot help but to wonder about the base colour ? It looks VERY brown and not Dark Yellow /Dunkelgelb) ? Did you have anybody consulting on this issue ? Wishing you all the best for the next step and again congratulations on a job WELL DONE : )
trabajo exquisito , impresionante
May you can grab some parts from the Tiger Tanks that are displayed in France
Wonderi if you could use three rods at a time , I done a bit of fitting but I know nothing about welding
Zimmerit. Nasty looking stuff.
Fixing all thoughts cast iron parts can not be easy!
The original monster... terrifying unit to face even in unskilled hands it was deadly
Watching this again 7 months later...and again asking...for ALL the amazing attention to detail...WHY are you going to ruin that with Zimmerit if this tank didnt HAVE any?..I see the battle damage near the rear....looks like it was hit onto non-coated metal.
WHY are you applying Zimmerit??
Seems like a bloody crime.
Whose decision IS this?
Michael wittman would be proud..
That Leopard hauling the Tiger gave off strong "come on grandpa" vibes and I'm all here for it!
Amazing to see such a comprehensive rebuild! Another piece of history brought back from ashes like a Phoenix!
Nice
exactly what went through my mind. taking grandpa out for a stroll.
Speaking of German grandpa my grandpa was a German veteran and at the time he was a leader of a country but lost the war
@@-.Springtrap.- Now hang your head.
Now imagine your breaking into a workshop and you see a tiger tank
I’m sure that there won’t be an hour’s worth of anything on TV as interesting as this tonight. Thanks chaps. 👍🏻🇬🇧
I agree :) I collect ww2 & newer 1:16 tanks I like the camo on this one... I did the camo on my walker bulldog & showed the seller & they loved it ... Might copy that tiger's camo on mine :) .. they did a brilliant job of it :)
Do you watch tele? I gave that up a long time ago.
Pretty sure you are right.
Agree 100%! I never knew I was interested in Tiger tank restoration, but this was really captivating... Well done (on the restoration and the video)!
Just watching these chaps working on getting the wheels in working order explains to me why a lot of the tank crews abandoned these tanks on the battlefield. VERY intricate design to be working on when you’re being shot at.
That is amazing.. A Tiger Tank that built by Henschel in Kassel, only a few Kilometers far from my Hometown. A lot of Men from our Village work at the Henschel Factory. And now it was restorated in Australia, on the other Side of the Planet... And these Aussie Guys made a Great Job... Greets from Germany..
Henschel also made quite a name in the railway engineering business, starting back in the glory days of steam and continuing to modern times. An interesting company..

@@badcornflakes6374 Okay, but you will remember what the Americans did to Libya, what they did to Iraq. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin wants a good future for his country. He does not arrange LGBT parades because he is a normal person. He will not create a new movement like your government. You started World War II. And only by the end of this war, your country has just begun to participate in it. Europe financed the Maidan coup in Ukraine to make Bandera appear, let your Europe go out of its way, but the truth is behind Russia, by the way, why is the US government spreading false information that my country is going to fight with Poland?

Thank you guys for all the hard graft restoring this masterpiece...
You guys rock...
Dude needed the terminator killing press to fix it! Maaan...!
There's something excellent about watching a Tiger tank get assembled and sorted, while listening to great classical music. Thanks guys!
I would have liked some old rock
You reminded me that scene from the movie T-34 where they are testing the tank and Tsaikofsky Swan Lake plays in the background
pitty theres no engine in it would be the finished article
country music not classical XD
Um Chopin possibly a little inappropriate, have you guys not seen the film about wladyslaw szpilman the Polish pianist.
All you guys well deserve to be proud as of what you've achieved, it's was an awesome out come, sorta made it look alive again after all these years
Big congrats and much respect guys
They bought most of the original parts from the Polish restoration team. These were collected and fitted one to the other for years. Both Jagdpanter and Tiger were taken from owners. The fcuking gives said "you can sell it to our friends, we take the money you don't go to jail" All paperwork and legal issues were 120% covered. But hey, your govs are a fcucking scumbags! Next thing was the already restored Hetzer. They were not able to take it due to high weight. Police said best would be chopping the thing into pieces with plasma cutter(they did not said cut it with plasma cutter they are too fcuking duimb for such extraordinary words and technologies. Wanted to cut it on spot with angle grinders (what world has done to get cursed with such idiots, and these were officers!) and drag to a "museum"
Symbolic and fitting that the younger Leopard carried its elder Tiger out into the sunshine again.
What did you do today?
Oh, I reverse parked a Tiger Tank using a Leopard 😂
the history segment at 47:00 gave me chills, the lad reading out of the history book then realizing he's sitting right where it all happened.. beautiful stuff, amazing work
Yes and so very sad….
What book was he reading that from?
One of the most enjoyable videos I've watched in a long time. Pass on my congratulations to Glenn & Beau and of course the video team.
What a great job💪. Greetings from Germany. Proud of you building up this important piece of German tank development
Giving it back, to where it belongs, would be more Important

@@babayka1237 Richtig!
@@KimJongFunny The Aussies captured it fair and square. Move along, Commie.
@@KimJongFunny And where would it belong? and who does it belong too?
Love the work you did on this tank. I just finished reading "Tigers in the mud" by Otto carius. It's about the 502 heavy panzer battalion in Latvia and Lithuania in 1944. This particular tiger tank must have been part of 1st company of the 502.
It was a worth while read.
Checkout Panzer Ace. Memoirs of an Iron cross commander from Barbarossa to Normandy.
Fantastic read about the actions the 503 heavy tank battalion were involved in during the war.
I met him about 2 weeks before his death. He was very kind. He even gave me a free English version of his book and several copy's of pictures of him (it wasnt signed, but it was a copy of a signed version by him, so technically still signed i guess) He dident had to do that, but he did anyway with a smile. His shop is called : Tiger Apotheke (after his Tiger tank and it means : Tiger Pharmacy.) In Herschweiler-Pettersheim, Germany.
The part about the Ruhr pocket made me sad, so many brave men on both sides died over a war which was over apart from the actual surrender.
That’s one of my favorite books.
This is totally insane! Such immense detail, all this work and effort, amazing team!
Oh wow, I really did just sit a whole Hour watching this.
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Thank you for showing me such a wonderful supercut :)
Where on earth do you find used tiger I parts?!
Poland.
I thought I've seen it all - but a Leopard pulling a Tiger...wow. Thank you for this great video and for your effort in restoring those pieces of history. Greetings from Germany!
She'll be ready for you to pick up on Firday at 1700HRS, Herr ;) Greetings from Downunder.
Tolle Arbeit und schön das der Tiger der Öffentlichkeit präsentiert wird. Bitte macht weiter so tolle Videos. Panzer-Hurra aus Deutschland
Ditto mate!
Beau must now be a leading world authority on Tiger tanks as he's one of very, very few people who have put one together in the last 80 years! He deserves a pay rise! 😁
Not that I'm disagreeing but let's remember Bovington....
I am an industrial welder at a shipyard, 25 years still going, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for the work you guys have done.
I envy you guys being able to work on what you do! And you are doing it so friggin great!
Which shipyard
@@typehyuga607 VARD, Norway, owned by Italian Fincantieri.
Nice music selection! Bach, Strauss beat fourth line guitar riffs any time!
Guys…….greetings from Germany i was 60minutes like „oh my god“
This is the craziest handmade craft that i have seen the Last 5 years
Cant describe my feelings for this incredible work
😳👍🏻
I believe 2 things, 1 - Your tiger's sister...131 in England would be happy to meet. 2 - The Bovington Museum / work shop would be proud of your work and dedication ! Thank you !!!
The entire production was impressive from start to finish. The editing was very well done, particularly the "Swan Lake" portion! Incredible work done by Glenn, Beau and all involved with the massive task of bringing this beautiful armoured beast back to form! Loved every second of this video. Very much look forward to the zimmerit application and seeing it move around under it's own power. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I''m in awe of these guys..craftsmen in every sense of the word...
St Eligius would be proud
Yes the skill shown was exceptional !
@@welshpete12 THEY ARE THE EXPERTS. ☺☺☺
@@davyfella Arte Et Marte
What talent. A small miracle, guys, you's deserve the iron cross with oak leaves.
Herr Michael Whitman is looking on and nodding...
Ritterkreuz...or knights cross would come with the oak leaves not the iron cross.... stay safe Gerry 😃
@@joelbruno717 Right... If I recall correctly, Oak leaves was given in silver (with Knights cross); and as the highest award with diamonds set in silver. BUT, I dont know if diamonds came with gold oak leaves, or if there was gold oakleave only offered. Do you? I know only person to have received Knights Cross with Oak Leaves and Diamonds was Field Marshall of the Luftwaffer. I think that was in a silver setting. Highest award that was actually awarded. If there was a gold oak leaves and Knight Cross or gold oak leaves with diamonds and Knight Cross I don't think it was ever awarded.
@@143AD hey Marc...I'm don't know anything about the about the colors of the leaves...I'm just confident in the fact that not to many German military personnel received the knights cross. The only thing I'm 100% sure of is there was only one winner of the knights cross with oak leaves swords and diamonds...Hans Ulrich Rudel. Stuka pilot..
@@143AD were not swords also a decoration for the Knights Cross?
Loved seeing all the exhibits when I was there last week & as a bonus I got to say g'day to a few of the guys. The Open Hatch tour was really interesting, old mate who did the talking was very knowledgeable & i learnt some new things for sure.
I got to see the panzer IV G started & get driven around the track outside. Kurt even opened the viewing platform up so we could go outside & watch. Thanks to all the crew there, I would highly recommend a visit.
The end literally brought a tear to my eye. Coming up from Vic to see the museum soon!
This is amazing, it's nice to see history kept alive for the world to study. Though the tiger isn't my favorite tank, it's still a tank that was ahead of it's time in alot of ways.
It was king when tanks ruled the wars.
This was so fascinating I didn't even realize an entire hour passed!
Savoir faire étonnant !!
Ce jeune homme prend avec beaucoup de plaisir et de sérieux la restauration de ce char mythique
Qui on peut le comprendre a surpris désagréablent les GI's dans la terrible bataille de Kasserine en Tunise
Il serait intéressant de savoir d'où provient ce Tigre qui semble avoir essuyé des tirs avec une destruction de son blindage (ou ?, a-t-il été saboté par son equipage ???)
Le retrouver ainsi à l'autre bout du monde est très surprenant !!
En tout cas magnifique restauration
Bravo 👏
I recall seeing the early Tiger I commanders cupola relic during a visit in 2016 thinking how cool is that and thats as close as Im likely to get to seeing the real thing. Until my next visit...
A great reminder of all the tiger action and how damaged that heavy armour plate was. Makes you feel sorry for the poor souls that were in it at the time, no matter what side they were on.
So true.
But one the bright side most of them had to get scuttled because of breakdowns ,lack of fuel and other things that plagued those over built machines.
OMG!!!!! Germany should give you HUGE thanks for the love and respect you are giving one of their historical war machines! I don't know why but watching this is so emotional for me for so many reasons.
Most Germans would scorn you for fixing this tank up.
@@justforever96 Those german war machines were studied and their technology used in America and Russia, much of their hardware was used even after WW2 in places like the middle east. Great German engineering showed by the creation of these beasts even if they were used in an evil war. Skilled men in arms died for their country fighting in them. Their war exploits will be talked about for eons. JMHO!
@@justforever96not saying the Nazis were good in any capacity, but their scientists, technology ect was used to create many things we take for granted today.
You forget to remember, one of the first places the Nazis took over was Germany.
@@justforever96 Having respect and a liking for German military engineering doesn't mean you agree with their political ideology at the time. This is about admiring their abilities and sacrifices, not their beliefs.
@@gothamgoon4237why not both
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO inspiring how you took some rusty metal from 80 years ago and restored it and made it a beautiful masterpiece once again! GOOD JOB!!!
I take my hat off to you guy’s. excellent job.
Being an ex body builder of armoured trucks, I understand how much work goes into restoring these tanks.
Keep up the good work.
Always awesome! I'm a 58 year old system engineer with absolutely no mechanical skills. I stop at painting. "Man's got to know his limitations." Would love just to hang out in the shop and watch...fascinating stuff being a WW2 buff. Incredible work people! Peace!
Kurt, I hope that you guys create similar "Supercut" videos on your other restorations. This was fantastic!
POV you’re a german german soldier in 1942 in the middle of Russia and the most inner wheel breaks
one of either armoured crew
crew, team, tool work artistory, all...good show...full advance, good 'diggahs'
Tremendous work by all the team. The pride and dedication shines out, can’t wait to see the finished Tiger running.
Very soulful release. This mechanic is very sensitive and loving towards his creations. Master, no less. He breathed a second life into this relic of terrible times. So simply beautiful.
Unbelievably proud. The patience, craftsmanship and dedication ? A feat one should be extremely proud of. Also the short detailed story about what happened ? A beautiful tribute to you all who perished in this horrible conflict. If l ever come down under, l swear l’ll be witnessing your team’s amazing achi😢first hand. Respect, and then some. Hrtz, Erik, Belgium.
Can you imagine having to repair a wheel/'banana' on a battlefield??
just amazing dedication and hard work to get this famous tank "all back together" = well done to everyone involved. best wishes from Lincolnshire UK
Hopefully u guys can get all the necessary parts to get this beautiful beast up and running again one day.
Even after 80 years of technical progress, this Tiger 1 tank still impresses by his massive presence and the aura of physical enforcement together with some kind of majesty which transpire, reaching our imagination. Impressive work you have done to rebuild this engin from scratch. Nevertheless, we should keep in mind that it is a killing machine, built to serve an despictable ideology.
I bet the Germans in the war couldn't have imagined we would be actually fixing together tigers now,wonder if they would be horrified or not?
No mate, the Jerries would be proud a former determined enemy we saw time and time again on the battlefield honour their greatest triumph of the war.
They couldn't imagine losing either.
Even though it is hard work and takes ages, I can only imagine how great it must feel working on such amazing historical projects, especially when such a beautiful piece starts coming together. Thanks for including us in the process. Hats off to the guys working on the tanks. Its not everyday when I see such talented craftmanship. Truly masterclass. Well done gents! Looking forward to watching your other projects as they progress. Keep up the great work!
These guys are awesome. Love how Bo works and his laugh and jokes. Makes this old man happy to see them work hard and enjoy what they do. I watch a lot of Tank rebullds and Aus-Armor is the best quality, good music, great narrative. No other tank rebuild show can compete. I also appreciate the work of the filmer - he narrates well, with great selection of music and good film of the project. I am an American and got into 1/16 scale tanks and Aus-Armor is a fun learning experience. Cheers to all of you and Bo's Dad, and all the other builders..
Agreed the Oz work in this museum and the production values is way ahead of any such channel
Got to say that was the best hour I have spent in a long time
I am at what you can build out of scrap metal
All your guys there are unbelievable trades people
The leopard was the main battle tank when I was in the army
Even though we still had centurions at wodonga
I nearly ended up at puck a to be a tech but went to 161 and played with helicopters instead
Can’t wait for next Wednesday 😍😍👍👍👍
Seeing this tank come to life from literal scraps is beautiful, just remarkable
Restoring a piece of History, what an undertaking, the results are nothing short of amazing.
A history of gunning down civilians and unarmed tank crews.
Man that was over 80 years ago quit beating a dead horse and let the past go
That was an awesome video. I saw the fake Tiger and the turret when I visited the museum but on the day I couldn't see into the workshop, I think they were working on the Nashorn.
Who could ask for a better father son project? I’m so glad I made it to this part of TH-cam. Keep up the good work, guys. What you do is amazing.
Thank Aus Armour for this episode of complete restoration of Tiger 1. As one of a collector of Panzer parts, I know how hard to find and collect those original part of Tiger 1.🤔
I am so happy to know that you didn't over paint the original kill rings on the barrel. 😊 So glad this Tiger 1 finally found her peaceful resting place.👍
It's not a T34 .
@@dirkdreier3959 Really?
She's a gorgeous gal. You boys really did a very fine job.......
it's amazing to think of the difference between the american grant tank vs this monster. those germans didn't know much about racial equality but they sure knew how to build a tank
This Tiger is a massive credit to your museum and for what it once represented during WWII, even if we consider it belonged to a formidable enemy - its uncovered story does indeed conjure up emotions knowing that its radio operator was killed, very sad but you wonder what impact it may have inflicted on the Allies before its demise
Extraordinary work done by your team, i have nothing but admiration for them and their detailed work, its an honour to watch and these videos help to create an everlasting visual document to its ongoing history, your team effort and the work done on her deserve much pride, amazing efforts
You mentioned that level of detail near the beginning, the German engineering and efficiency, i guess what with the eventual forced labour, the detail began to fade on where items were located, we cannot forget all those that were forced to work in such hard conditions being threatened with their lives and those that did perish, its near impossible to fathom the numbers involved from the man power right back to those mining the raw materials that drove the mighty German war machine
Lovely to get the whole story in one sitting, great to see it all again!
Wonderful projects & great, quality work! Best wishes & compliments to the whole crew.
.
Always lovely to see the craftsmanship, pride in the work, ATD in the repairs, no matter how large or small.
The respect & commitment to retaining everything & anything Possible, for the history in every piece.
I had two repair careers, in far smaller items, and watching you all go at it the way you do has my deepest respect.
The projects with the deepest history are always the most rewarding & humbling, i can only imagine what you all feel as you find all those bits of history, battle damage & hints of prior hands during the work.
Though this vid is longer than normal it is well worth it just to see these lads work on such an iconic tank
映画に出て来て欲しいですね👍
48:40 the zimmerit coating really inst something needed to add, it wasnt used even for a long period of the war, and the tank defnitely looks better without it
Also, Gotta say that this is a marvelous reconstruction of a Tiger 1
Love the workmanship on the tiger
All the little details credit to you
All the man hours that were put into it
All the best from Ireland 🇮🇪

Thank you all for your efforts.
Excellent restoration ❤ very well made/restored, vielen dank aus Deutschland 🇩🇪👍💯
Thanks for that, there are not much Tigers in this condition available. Respect! Greetings from Germany!
Great video! Amazing work by the crew as always and I'm sure it was an emotional time finding the history of your Tiger and then putting it on display. Well done!
Amazing work, well done to everyone involved. It makes you realise the amount of work and complexity involved in building a Tiger. Amazing the Germans were able to do this and maintain them under war time conditions.
they were also building jet planes ICBMs and were halfway to the atom bomb. busy little beavers
Yes I was thinking of the overnight mechanicing which the crews had to do…every day as i understand….pity it was so complex but what a blooming machine
Enjoy all the vids but this one was special. Great work from all the team and a special pat on the back for the young ones who weren't even alive when these monsters ruled the earth.
imagine what it must be like to work on these historical behemoths!! If only they had more funding and resources for this task!! Hope this new exhibit drives more visitors and more donations for their worthy cause!
Incredible. The original crew are applauding you guys. What a finished piece. Mark
What a fantastic achievement congratulations to everyone involved look forward to seeing it move under its own power 😎👍👍
i sure hope this tiger will be used for a movie,.. maybe a movie about the tank itself, following it through certain battles.
Truly a world class museum and exhibits and I’ve seen a few. :)
Good to know, as I haven't but I want too. And I'm here!
Outstanding work gentlemen!!! Didn't think such a build were possible having been able to both locate and manage to use original parts, but having the documented facts along with it.
You've officially helped save one very important part of history.
It's seems like a lot of work, 👨🏼🏭👷🏼♂️but you are creating something that in hundreds⌛ of years from now, people will be admiring your work👍
