BlrwestSiR Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 If you thought the Andy's HHQ/Takom Tiger 1 was a bit small, Plamax has a 1/12 Tiger 1 coming out soon. It even has working suspension. 2 2

Administrators Fran Posted October 10, 2023 Author Administrators Posted October 10, 2023 Well, I think is that time where we need to start a new topic for the upcoming news for 2024... And in 2023 news topics, we already have some news from 2024, so i decided to open this 2024 news topic already... @BlrwestSiR show us the new and upcoming in March 2024 Plamax 1:12 Tiger I... Pre-orders already open: https://www.hlj.com/1-12-scale-plamax-tiger-i-max01366 And the future, also for 2024, 1:35 Gecko PACV These two for sure, will only be out to the market in 2024. 3
ScottsGT Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Such a shame that Tiger isn’t RC ready. My grandkids would love it if I had one I could run over them with. 3 3
ScottsGT Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 Stolen from Brit Modeler… This one’s going to get me. 3 2
Administrators Fran Posted October 10, 2023 Author Administrators Posted October 10, 2023 Probably will be out this year, 2023! 3 1

The Heng Long RC tanks are supposed to be fairly decent. They're actually cheaper than this kit too and are RTR. Some have an IR system for combat and can even shoot airsoft BBs. Just don't get the basic one as that has plastic gearboxes. 2 1

I'm pretty sure this one will be based on the Figma kit representation of Mako's Tiger from Kuromorimine Academy in Girls Und Panzer ... I got the original Panzer IV Ausf.D and all 5 members of the Anglerfish team in the same scale (the Figma figurines are supposed to be 1/12) The Ausf.H upgraded version and the Mako / Erika figures were released later on ... Then I saw the Tiger being advertised (obviously to go with the new figures) although it's a bit weird as Erika is the commander of a King Tiger, not Mako's gunner. Rog 1 1

BlrwestSiR Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 @Artful69, looks like you're right. It's the Figma release but unassembled and a set of OVM tools thrown in. 2

But that airsoft system. Yea, I’m thinking it would be fun with the Canada Geese we have around here that keep pooping in my yard. 4

In that case, may I suggest an Armortek one? 1/6 so he might have a harder time stopping it in its tracks. Here's the Pershing. https://www.armortek.co.uk/product/m26-pershing/ 4 1
Martinnfb Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 I was kinda hoping that the blondie would try too.😇 4
PanzerWomble Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 I sold one of my tank models to the bloke who runs Armourtek , they are down the road from me in nearby Hampshire . He paid a lot less for the 1/35 than I'd have paid him for one of his 1/6th . 2

ScottsGT Posted October 10, 2023 Posted October 10, 2023 All in, around $8000 for an Armortek. I’ll put it on my Christmas wish list. (I have a better chance of getting the blonde for Christmas than an $8000 toy tank) 2 7
Vandy1 VX-4 Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 1/32 Bomb trailer!!! I guess the Clarktor tug needs something to tow? 6
