Sons birthday coming up wants this RC! Tiger MK1

[clipperjay]

Update, the Tank has been good fun and we decided to weather the tank for the look in VW language we Ratted the Tank, as its been on a hard Campaign in France LOL! 
Any experts in dia-rama of WW1?

nice, maybe add some blood red paint?

[clipperjay]

Thought about that think it might look to red primerish?
I'm going to add mud paint next to give it more used look, but its just fun for my lad.
I was thinking to use a hot needle and stick afew buliet holes for good measure.

That looks cool mate, get the "3818" looking a bit worn and it'll look authentic (sp)!

iirc im sure german units in ww2 only used 3 numbers on the tank to denote iirc squadron, troop and tank within troop

This was a Tiger One an early one, so not sure about the other King Tiger if it has less numbers?
It came with the kit so thats why we just went with the flow.

As you can see spent some time with our lad painting the commander of the Tiger1 Tank.
The commander came just in Green plastic which shows in the first picture so we decided to paint him in some orignal colours using a painfully small 0000 brush!
Any tips on painting these as I know there are some die hard model makers collectors on here!

i would also consider a rc boat there alot cheaper than both the tank and plane

You would be surprised the Tank only cost me £100 compared to the boat £300+
The good thing is he can use the tank around the house whilst the boat would mean summers and spring times.
But hey it might be on mine his christmas list
