    Great videos, a pleasure to watch, and you gave me an idea. I have one, too. Bought mine back in 2001 from a hobby shop near Tampa Bay, FL. It was expensive, even back then. I believe, with the radio, it cost around $1,200. It still looks and runs great. After seeing your videos, I plan to take my Tiger to the next level. I have seen that there are tons of after-market parts and add-ons. I'm going to get a new motor/gearbox assembly. Beautiful metal tracks, road wheels, drive sprockets, idler sprockets, a new sound system, and electrics, etc. I've set my budget at $1,000 which I feel is reasonable, given the current worth of the model. When I spray paint my models I cover my range with cardboard and let the exhaust fan do its thing. Michael Wittmann tank?

    I built one of these in about 2003, it still has the 40mhz FM radio gear in it! Worth the extra over Heng Long, for sure

    @15:22 But... That's not a Sherman/Pershing with a cast Turret/Hull... That's a Tiger with a rolled Turret/Hull 🤔

    Did you find this tank in your garage or someone’s else’s?? How could you forget about this rig if it was yours.. It’s awesome great kit for sure.. it’s gojng to go real good with the p801 and p802. That’s what my plan is with my pair of HG’s 😁. My p801 is in but waiting for p802 amazing rigs

      Got it off eBay (talk about it in part 1). Looking good so far. Need to finish it to get on to the HEMTT again!
