Firstly thanks for your clear, friendly and interesting videos. Now I purchased a Tamiya King Tiger full option 'production turret ' kit (about 15 years ago but never touched it). My friend gave me a kick up the backside and said we should get it built. The last kits I ever did were Airfix kits when I was young and they never looked good when finished. Now I have the money to do them correct. Apart from the obvious of reading the instructions, preparing everything and taking our time what other general tips or advice would you give a novice? I'm thinking that you video on the Tiger 1 will be a good knowledge base for the process of doing a King Tiger.
Before I forget I'm really enjoying your videos. Thinking about getting this tank because of the movie Kelly's Heroes. Oddball buys one at the end. Iol
I noticed in the Manuel on step 8 it didn't mention lock tight for the gearbox screws would recommend using lock tight anyway given how close they are to the gearboxes
the assembly is great tank, but it is very long, but is very enthralling do. when I join tank mine I take several days, but in the end it was great to do. Thank you so much for sharing it👍👍👌👏👍👌👏
Hey mate, thanks for the sharing. I jus bought this rc model and started working on it. My question is, when is the best/right moment to paint the base with the base color, as in step 4 there is the painting mentioned in the instruction. I see that you don't paint until basically the end. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
Hey mate, I always have found it best to do it at the end. You can do it earlier but then you might also run into the risk of scratching it. At the end of the day there is no real right or wrong way about it :)
Are on your tank the long stand up screws on the track tension also a little loose? Guess it must be a Little loose that the tension unit can easaly move up and down?
Hello, I am now building the tank but having emense problems getting to assemble the MD2 adjustment screw for tension pulley. Can’t understand how I can get those two screws tightened with the ME5 gold part and MC4 nut, I am stuck! Please help me!
Very interesting seeing the Tamiya Tiger 1 built. I have a couple of Tamiya Tanks and was wondering how you paint the tank as when I did mine I found it better to paint as you go a long, otherwise do you take some of it apart to paint.
Wonderland models of Edinburgh stock a lot of 1:16 kits and many, many others. Great advice and they have been in business since I was young (so at least 50 years then)...
RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 i wish the gearbox was made exactly the same way they where made for real tiger tanks, because it would make it more interesting.
+DutchRC Adventures thanks brother. You will love it. Tamiya tanks are really good and generally more prototypical then other manufacturers. Plus, they are in kit form so building them is just as fun as driving them.
Ohwwww I would Love the building part man :D I'll tell you something funny.. when I was very young I had a bad case of the flew right.. So my father got me a Kyosho car kit.. Hoping I'd have something to do for a few days.. Yeah.. I hoped so too.. But.... the build was over in 1 evening :P
Hello friend ! Please need help ! I need one new Cannon flash for my Tamiya Tiger 1 , where i found for sale ? Thanks friend , from Brasil, Rio de Janeiro . All the best .
Great video, a really enjoy it. Do me a favor take few pictures of how you set up the camera near work bench sent them to my FB, please. Maybe later take the video if you want it is a hot topic on YT about modelers workbenches. I'm going to make my video about my bench soon. Hvala, Bratko!
Tamiya manuals are second to none. I am blown away, world best quality but crazy prices
Yeah man, definitely

Much appreciated bro. It's a lovely tank. Tamiya are great to build
I enjoyed watching that video and have to say it's a bit of a difference to building the good old Tamiya Hornet lol, looking forward to part 3

An Englishman building a German tank made by the Japanese. Ironic. Nice build.

+Jack Torrance the track should just touch the third road wheel. The Tamiya system isn't the best. I can never get it perfectly rigid.
Yeah Tamiya kits are the best!
+carboncubss yep, definitely
This video reminds me of the good times with Tamiya 56010. Good job and have fun :)
+q8Raziel8p thanks and appreciate the comments
nice vid dude (again)
Cheers man

This giant Tamiya 1/16 rc tiger 1 really looks good and realistic. But my question is how much did you bought this?
How hours did it take to put the tank together?
Hard to say. You could do it over a weekend
great video looking forward seeing it done
+Adolf Hitler Thanks, enjoying the build so far.
where can you by this from in the uk?

+DutchRC Adventures lol, I have done that too. Thinking I will take my time but then get too excited and it's finished within a few days :)

+North Carolina (W) getting there mate.
does it come with the RC parts like motors
+The Crow yes the motors and esc although you need to supply the transmitter, receiver and battery
this rc tank is cool
+holden Niven-Brewer yep, agree
Why are some of these tamiya rc tanks so much dearer than others in the 1/16 range?
Newer versions generally more expensive or some are a full option kits
