I want to see the back.....I wonder how much detail the back is going to have.

HAL_HUSKER

Hal,

Do you know who's making it??

taoJ

Aero-mate , it's a company that makes rc products rx's esc etc

This is based on a very early Tiger I though there are a few detail faults with the tank that I can see, I take it that this Tiger is very early in it’s development so the faults that are there now can be corrected IE the drivers port is completely wrong the MG ball is not only too high but the wrong shape the driver radio hatches look too thick having said that the wheels are very nice with hub detail though you do have a problem with the idler wheel shafts being bent, it will be interesting to see the development with this Tiger, I see you have also copied the trade mark Tamiya fault

RSEA

Yes, like Rivet stated above, there are some details that don't look accurate. It needs some design modifications to look as good as the Tamiya model, even though it is an earlier Tiger than the Tamiya (which when built box stock, looks to be a Spring 1943 Tiger).

Look at the hull thickness on it! Makes the 1mm thick hull pan of the Tamiya look like it is made of paper in comparison. This metal tank might survive a blast from an M-80 fire cracker if it drove over top of it! It might be able to withstand hits from a steel balled BB gun too.. Plus, maybe you might throw your back out trying to lift it in and out of your car trunk.

The durability factor is what I like best about it. Things break very easily on the mostly plastic tanks that are currently available.

Agree with RSEA, the scale is not precise in some places... and it needs more details on the back. I wonder if they make them?
but still looks very nice...

It's a prototype, soon to be release, at least that's what aero-mate stated in the post he did on rcgroups

Awesome!  That would have saved me the trouble of building of trying to build my own!  Actually, I'd take the lower hull for the suspension and the turret for the detail and use it on mine.  If it's made of aluminum it might not take too many direct hits from a pellet gun before it starts bending things though.

I think I'd like to see the price tag on that before putting that on my wish list. Although I've got a short time in this hobby, it doesn't take long to figure out that metal=money x 2 and often times drastic at 1/16 scale. Looks okay though but it won't surprise me if the asking price is an upwards 1200 bucks.
