Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

I just watched your video on the Trumpeter's version of this model. They both look amazing. But in your professional opinion which one is the best bang for your buck (i.e. Academy's or Trumpeter's)?

Great tanks but what made the king tiger, tiger and panthers nearly useless in the war was not the transmission but the petrol engine and that Germany didn't have enough oil to run them, that's why they got abandoned.

Zimmerit - facepalm! You're a fucking genius,man! 1 tiny detail: The optimal track slack for Tiger is set when the upper part of the track touches the second road wheel from the front of the hull. Great work!

[@vonsopas]

Geez, that was the same model I did about 20/21 years ago...fond memories!!! Mine is panzer grey (and now kept inside a box with my other models in my apartment)..EDIT: I realized when I saw the cuppola that mine is the early model (didn't read thoroughly the title LOL) with Feifel filters

You never cease to amaze me, fantastic build / video, on a brilliant war machine.

[@nvrskmodels8467]

Very good and high-quality work. But there are a couple of points that I would like to mention. First - the tracks on the front part are not fixed by anything. And really there was a bar fixing them. The second - metal rollers and really liked that the author reproduced their shine from rubbing on the truck. But! On caterpillars, such paths remain. In Russia, we often imitate this with the help of a pencil lead. I wish the author to always do an excellent job =)

I'm speechless by your amazing work your Tiger is like real 😮

[@adamtaylor7412]

Once again a brilliant job, I would like to add something to the conversation if I may.If this is a late model Tiger the outer road wheels were removed in Jan 1944. As I think the camouflage is around the time of Normandy June 1944 the outer wheels should have been left off, I am just saying and not trying to offend or take anything away from your work.I have no doubt that I am going to cop flak for this.

[@twobyfour]

All rivet counters are welcome :-)

[@twobyfour]

The outer road wheels were removed to prevent the build up of mud and debris. The interlocking design had a flaw, in that mud and debris would not `drop away`. In cold weather it would freeze, immobilising the vehicle. Also, maintenance was easier with the outers removed, not so many wheels to remove.

[@powertothebauer296]

No this is a Late Production Tiger with Steelwheels, this is a Correct build. What you mean is on the Early Tigers, but i don't think so they left the complete outer wheels off, because it would increase the Ground Pressure, only the first one by the Sprocket Wheel. Only by Rail transport the outer wheel was detached wit a transport Track.

[@adamtaylor7412]

Hello, powertothebauer, please go to google images and type in (picture of german tiger tank in Normandy June 1944) there some pictures there which may interest you, or not.( I am not saying any more on this, I just would like to enjoy the video)

[@markcampbell127]

It does have the outer road wheels off. Steel wheel versions did not have the third wheel of the early Tigers. This web site has lots of pictures showing the difference www.alanhamby.com/tiger.html The model does however have the single headlight, which is late, but the two holes for the gunsight, which is early. It wasn't uncommon to see mismatched parts as they were field repaired at times. The roadwheels however are correct late war pattern.

[@averylegitperson6305]

Nice but did you fix the transmission. Lol

[@idreamcheese5504]

Tiger 1 is the best tank of ww2 i think

[@mlyspniak6820]

Pz. Kpfw V was the best (my opinion)

[@dennisc7747]

far from it

[@MegaRaven100]

In WW II it was understood as the best by the tankers on both sides. Stupid revisionists 'know better' and talk about the Panther which WAS the overly expensive mechanical nightmare (See Guderian). The average Tiger killed twice as many enemy as the Panther (10 to 1) AND crew survival was twice as high. It's heavy side/rear armor was 80 mm=to Panzer IVs frontal armor! The Tiger's very reputation and presence was unequalled by all but the early T 34.

[@rurushu8094]

Amund Herudsløkken in terms of killing power and armour alone, the tiger II would be better

[@emilbroman]

The M4 was truly the best of the best

[@kevin92978]

[@petrmasek6353]

Just a question - zimmerit is not part of this model? Maybe that´s because Germans stopped using that in summer 1944.

[@kaiserrommel9483]

All late tiger 1’s had zimmerit, they stoped putting it on king tigers though.

David, I bow before you! this is perhaps the best model I've ever seen up to now. You indeed are a Master. It is not only the model but the idea I had about the Tiger itself. Just yesterday I wrote to Matsimus in one of his amazing videos, that Tiger is kind of a monster beast, but after watching your video, I take back my words. It might not be as gorgeous as it is the Leopard 2 but I must understand that are two species separated by almost 60 years. Now I could say both "kampfwägen" sind a beauty. Thank you for your amazing work. Beautiful model.
