Cat goes for a ride
As much as I like my Tiger its a job to go somewhere. I have a F150 but its needing a battery. So, take the middle seat out of the van(like 75 pounds), get 30 pounds of ramps, 15 pounds of backup batteries, and away we go. No wonder my back hurts.

Wow! She reminds me of Otto Carius' first Tiger #213.
Great pics in his book "Tigers in the Mud" of the "factory finish" most early Tigers went into combat with.

The armortek tanks are all metal with scale thickness to the armor. Looks like ill definitely be needing something larger than that for my 1/6.
Looks very good though alot like Ottos tiger.

It's just under 300 pounds. Turret is 54 pounds buy itself. There was less than 1/2" clearance on each side of the door going in. Already got the battery for my F150 as I dont want to do that again.
It bent my first set of ramps.

It hasent yet. Tracks are about 6 inches wide. It runs on 2 wheelchair motors @ 24 volts. Lots of torque.
Guess I should carry a shovel, winch and a case of beer to reward helpers. Just in case.
