1/16 Tiger I German Gray

Here's a nice, big, radio-controlled tank at a very reasonable price! This R/C model depicts an early-type Tiger I in a "German Gray" paint job. Moves forward and backward, turns left and right, and pivots on the spot. Suspension is functional, with assembled and installed individual-link tracks. Driving speed can be controlled. Headlights work. Turret rotates, and gun elevates and depresses. There are no sound effects or firing effects, however. The controller requires eight AA batteries, not included, although you do get a rechargeable 7.2v battery and charger for the tank (the manual says you'll get about 30 minutes' run time off of a 10-hour charge; shorter run times on 5-6 hour charges). Includes self-adhesive stickers for markings, plus a half-figure of the tank commander to place in the cupola. Attachment of some detail parts is required. Instructions are in Japanese, but the illustrations are pretty self-explanatory. The box top photo shows the mantlet on upside down, but the product itself has it mounted properly. Decent detail overall, lots of fun to operate, and all at a price you just can't beat!
