Default Taigen Mid Version Tiger 1 first pictures

Hey tankers,
Ok so I'm pretty sure all of you guys have heard by now we are working on a servo assisted airsoft recoil system for our upcoming Tiger 1 mid version tank. I just wanted to share with you guys a few photos of the upcoming tank

This tank will come with our all new full bearing gearboxes (4:1 of course), our 360 turret slip ring, and the airsoft barrel recoil system. Please enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!

Sweet, man. I really like the 3 color camo. Will you have both a metal and a plastic version, like TAG12010 and TAG 12030? MSRP? What will they go for on the Imex website? And the biggest question - Will the airsoft recoil be available as a retrofit kit? Maybe the whole airsoft recoil turret?

And I'm still waiting for the slipring kit!

Like it Erik. If this is the plan for your future tanks, I'll stop buying IR tanks.

I love it! That's a great basis for an Italian campaign, particularly with a little weathering and unit marking.

It said "Diamond Edition". Does that mean metal lower hull with torsion bars, metal road wheels with rubber tires, metal sprockets and metal tracks?

This would save me some serious time on my plans for an Anzio build.

As of now there will only be a metal version. Pricing will be just a bit more than the current Tiger 1 metal versions, not too much more considering all the upgraded stuff that it comes with now The recoil system will release after the Tiger 1 does, we will use this time to plan our distribution method for the recoil system. Also the 360 kits will be coming late June'ish, I have finished the instructions and new pictures for them all and testing. They are quite great and will be plug and play for almost all tanks (the P3 and P4 will require a few solders, but that is nothing too hard and I'll make a video for everyone of course). The machine gun version is something I am very excited about. This of course allows the addition of a turret MG, but it also opens up the possibility for more mods.

I'll see what I can do. My original prototype is just a bit different than the production model. I'll get some photos soon for everyone.

Well guessing from the good response I am getting so far from people and the constant emails wanting them it might just very well be

Yes it is the metal version tank, we just needed a premium edition to separate it from the other versions. This one comes will so much new stuff it will be quite a pleasure to drive! The super smooth gearboxes, 360 turret, and now the airsoft recoil system....

I'm glad you all like it so far, this tank will test the grounds for future expansions I see the recoiling airsoft gun being a big hit and I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do already.

And you'll be putting airsoft recoil in the new Jagdtiger, right? Right?

Don't forget I still have that cooler full of snowballs!

It's about time. Looking forward to the new recoiling airsoft main gun.

Now that I've seen the traverse/elevation unit in the strum I do believe I can put that in my Jagdtiger and run it on an IBU2.
