The famous Tiger gets a reality boost with Magic Track equipment!

About the actual vehicle
The most famous Tiger I tank in the world is the Tiger I turret No.131 housed at the Bovington Museum in England.
Among the heavy Tiger I tanks developed and deployed by the German Army in World War II, Turret No.131 engaged the British Army on April 21, 1943, in Tunisia on the North African front where it was deployed.
Although it destroyed two Churchill tanks, its turret was damaged by British 6-pounder artillery fire.
The commander was wounded and abandoned on the spot.
After the battle, the British forces captured the vehicle and restored it, conducting various tests and investigations.
After the war, it was taken over by the Bovington Museum, where restoration work continued and was completed in 2004.
The Tiger I is still in operation, and its appearance is shown to fans every year.
