Buy it, you dont need to eat this week. The Tiger will nourish your soul. Technically it is not even spending much at all as you could theoretically sell it and get most of it back.
*”The difference between men and boys is the price and size of their toys!”* - I don’t know the author but whoever was it hit the nail on the head with such surgical precision… I’ve been trying to work the missus out for a Tiger RC for my birthday, so this masterpiece will have to go to the waiting list, to a very high place in the waiting list… very high indeed…
@mikeconey2164 nah. This has lots of moving parts and extremely detailed. All of that isn't cheap to produce. This isn't a toy you buy for a kid. This is a model you keep on the shelf.
My dad bought this when i was 7 years old, i thought it was the coolest thing since sliced bread, we still ha e it in storage but its missing the hedgehogs and figures and booklets
@Cormano980 nah, my dad gave it to me and I'm going to keep it to display it when I get a place of my own, it also has a bit of sentimental value now as I essentially grew up admiring it
_When I was a child, a group of boys were caught stealing from the local shop. My father was furious when he found out. I protested to him "But I didn't take anything". Maybe not he said, but... you were there. My name is Peter Müller, Commander of Tiger tank number 237. And I was there._
The moral of that vignette is, he and every other german alive at the time, was guilty of the german crimes. And should have been forced to work out their days as indentured servants to the Allied Nations that gave up so much to stop their criminal career.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592Really? You think those poor high school and college kids unwillingly conscripted into the Wermacht, sent to a frozen Russian hell, starving to death on horsemeat and hard tack bread were willing participants in that? They had no idea what was going on, only that they got screwed in the Treaty of Versailles, and hyped up on Wagner operas and music and were the first victims of propaganda on film, which was most effective. Those poor kids were told what to do and did it, they were on the wrong side of history but just as American kids are told they are liberating an oppressed people from child molesting dictators but are really dying for big oil company interests in the 2000's, kids in the 1940's were no better educated on the real intentions of their leaders. 😢
i have the Michael Wittmann edition Tiger 1, with original shipping box! these models are so detailed its insane, i just wish i had more time to get it out and look at it
wow the commander figure is the exact same guy I have like 12 of from my other kits from when they sold other 1:32 Forces of Valor tanks and APCs at Walmart in the mid 2000s. God i wish I stock piled them
Yours is extraordinary mine have been small metal King tigers I had a model of a King Tiger I had a battery-operated one and I use them in video games especially in ruse art of deception
The more I watched this the more my Jae dropped first it was the detail, then the hatches, then the ammo rack, then the breech, then the turret removal
Ah Forces of Valor... I have a 1:32 Scale M3 Lee Model, Good Shit, Played with it a lot when I got it during like High School, those were the days, still have it and its In display in my room
I had the original TAMIYA King Tiger with four channel remote control it cost me a lot of money in the eighties but when I sold it in the late nighties I made a profit.
Das sieht wirklich beeindruckend aus. Auf den ersten Blick scheint mir nur die Kettenspannung zu gering aber sonst.. 👍. Wenn das Model aber wirklich so beeindruckend ist, würde mich der Preis interessieren, denn aus Modellbauerhand würde ein 1000ender nicht reichen.
This pops up in my feed, really cool, awesome looking...and dad yells in my ear "Where do we get these?!!" No dad that is crazy expensive it came in a freaking wood crate. No, Santa is not bringing you one...okay fine write him a letter...yes you have been good this year (not this good). Thanks youtube 😂
I found one on the marketplace. No box tho. Missing a couple pieces other than that lady wanted $40 for it. It's very heavy. Most of it is diecast. Thing is pretty neat. Even the shells are diecast.
Eery shell is an individual piece? You can remove the turret shell, the turret itself and see the area beneath the crew sitting unit? THE GUN CAN BE MANUALLY LOADED WITH INDIVIDUAL SHELLS? I want. :)
I still wanna see someone build an RC tank with the same idea as RC battleships... Balsa wood, and CO2 bb cannon. Or if you really want it to be cool you can make an autoloader of sorts and use small pellets to hopefully do actual damage to the inside of the tank.
When i was 11 or 12 i went to a model-shop and saw all sorts of tanks behind glass, I then convinced my parents to buy me one, coming home, i excitingly unboxed it, only to disappointingly find out it was completely grey and still needed to be painted. i didn't mind so much the fact that you had to glue it together, but i felt really ripped off after seeing all those "Pre-painted" models behind the glass, next day i returned it.
I won’t lie, my first thought was that he was unboxing some form of poisonous snake with how secure this looked. Plus I don’t know that there isn’t a snake out there called a German king tiger. There might be, and it might eat small tanks for all I know.
