I never knew this, does anyone know for sure what the error actually is?

Yes, as above, the turret is to far forward.

ah ok...they mixed porsche tiger and henschel tiger lol..

Thank you for this information...

And I presume that Tamiya Tiger I model are without this default?
Last point on Tamiya Tiger I, I've read that turret is only turning on 340°, is it correct?

ausf

No.

The Tamiya uses a geared turret ring, driven by a gearbox with a clutch, no stops. The only limit is your wire discipline. If you don't secure the wires neatly and only turn your turret to the left, eventually the wires will twist enough to cause drag. Worse case is you'll pull out a plug.

Yes.

No. I suggest you look to see if people giving you "advice" on a given tank...actually own the tank. If so, (and in this specific instance) I'd ask further whether they've actually ever built a Tamiya Tiger 1 from the kit or bought it used (someone else built it). Anyone who has ever owned a Tamiya would know that all Tamiya tank turrets (exception would be the Leopard 2a6) are full 360 degree rotation...the caveat (like ausf stated) is that the wire bundle to the turret will bind if you go too many revolutions in the same direction (i.e. there is no slip ring assembly).

The only think that limits the Leo 2A6 rotation is the cables like on all the others and the trigger switch on the back of the turret. Although I can't remember how many rotations it limits - I've never tried to go round more than once on mine.

It would be nice if Tamiya retrofit all their older models with similar turret rotation designs. The Leopard 2A6 is awesome.
