Because in terms of mass appeal people have raised the tiger to a sort of godlike, unkillable BA tank status. Or any german tank from WWII for that matter. This is a first venture, so I am sure they just want to get a large audience and see how it goes
Yes I know how popular the Tiger is but this 1/16 scale market is saturated with Tigers. My fear is Hobbyboss will have dismal sales with it, and then give up on 1/16 as being unprofitable .
A Comet, Churchill, or Abrams would have sold better would be my guess.
