Default Time to Move up!!

Well I going to take the plunge! Taking it big!

I am getting a Tamiya TIGER 1, of course with all the bells and whistles.

Army Group Wife agreed as long as I thin the HENG LONG Herd.

So here we go!!

Yeah man, I feel ya. I looked around quite a bit to find the best deal. I ended up buying online from the AAF tank museum. I talked to a lady named Natasha through email and she helped me out so I enjoyed their service and wanted to do business with them. They have a great price but it wasnt a full option kit. But thats fine as I want to use elmod.

Its tricky being canadian as most venders are international and I didnt want to pay an arm and a leg with duty taxes.

I recommend to you Stellamodels. Im not too sure how much shipping is but the full option tiger I tamiya kit is US 600. Hopefully shipping isnt the same :P

Chief,

The AAF museum has good prices and it helps support the museum! That's a great thing too me after going to Danville
for the extravaganza. You also might try Dave for what on ebay as he has good prices too. Here's a link to the store where most of our members get there's

Hi Don.

I'm sure you will have a blast with the Tiger I. With all the practice you have had on the HL tanks you have been building, I'm sure you will do this Tamiya kit justice. Is this your first Tamiya RC tank kit? What abteilung will you represent and in what campaign?
