Tiger 1 #205 in action at Memorial day event in Elizabethtown Ky Veterans Park and Nature Park May 2023. All of this is part of the WW2 event that takes place every year on Memorial day.
This one looks a lot better than the prop tank used in Saving Private Ryan, the only real giveaway is the idler. Are those fake road wheels that were put on in front of the real ones?
Im a girl with a big interest in tanks so I resent your statement. The time I got to climb into a Leopard 2A6 is one of my favorite memories. I remember the crew being rather impressed at my knowledge of the vehicle, though I didn't appreciate them saying I should join the military after lol
Its a t55 for one, and for 2 i dont know if the Germans actually used that, but either way the muzzle flash on a fuckin 88mm cannon would still be very intense, however its definetly black powder used here, the muzzle flash is way to much.
One off the converted T34's that appeared in Saving Private Ryan disguised as a German tiger tank can be found on display in the tank museum at Duxford in Cambridgeshire, England.

"Tiger 205 in Elizabethtown KY for Memorial Day. Built from a T-55 and other Armored fighting Vehicles. Built to spec. Hull was reversed and engine and transmission moved. Turret turns and the gun fires."
@@MichalKaczorowski -- Yeah, this is true. I remember seeing those movies in theaters with paper route money, after I had built plastic model kits of the German tanks and the Patton tanks as well, so I was pretty disappointed seeing them with the mustard color and German crosses. Although I have to admit it was probably better than the cowboy movie my sister(a US Navy nurse) saw in Japan during the Vietnam War - and the Indians came over the hill with spears and tomahawks yelling "Banzai!" The Americans all burst into gales of laughter and got dirty looks from the Japanese in the theater(the dialog was probably overdubbed). I bet most people who saw that movie in the theater didn't really care if those were old US tanks.
Im guessing this is the static replica made for fury tgat was then sokd to AusArmour who then chucked in t55 running gear , volvi truck engine which was then sold to un nammed person in the states 6 months ago?
looks sorta like a pt78 but the tracks are too wide, and the drive is very t55. Looks much better then the tiger 34 in duxford that was used for saving privet ryan
@@michaeld.uchiha9084 who you talking to? Tiger 34 is a fake tiger made out of a t34 for saving privet ryan, its in IWM duxford hidden in a French cafe
One thing I always hate about American reenactors portraying Wehrmacht soldiers is that most of them are always too old and overweight which takes the realism away from it.
I mean bro there is 6 in the world and 5 are at museums (1 is a memorial) they ain't being sold lmao. Also tanks are super small inside even a Tiger 1 which I was able to go inside and I'm not tall.
Very well made FAKE Tiger1, I honestly cant remember I saw better anywhere be4. In our yugoslav partisan movies, they used t34s, added those squares BUT they honestly looked quite ridicilous, they had some narrow tracks, BUT ppl were saying those replicas in movie "Neretva" with Richard Barton acting Tito were great. They spent A LOT of money for that movie, so I guess nobody dared to say Tito "you know, Marshall, Tigers in your movie are shait".

@rahjah6958 More often than not, the winner of a tank on tank engagement was determined by good tactics, situational awareness and communication between crews, more than who had the better machine. Tanks of any type, getting bunched up, moving in line-ahead formation are basically begging to be picked off one by one. Which is what frequently happened in the narrow, dense Bocage of Normandy. We've seen the same thing happen to both sides of the conflict in Ukraine recently, with both modern Western tanks and older Russian tanks getting picked off by artillery or shoulder fired anti-tank weapons because of sloppy tactics.
One of the best tiger replica I've ever seen
no wonder the track looks funky
@@YusefYoyomanyour funny. 😂😂😂😂
Seeing it in person was amazing, that is a real 88mm main gun.
I agree. It looks great!
Its out of saving private ryan
Goddamn, for a T55 they did a hell of a job making the wheels look like the actual torsion bar suspension wheels of the tiger, props to them.
Fooled me
This one looks a lot better than the prop tank used in Saving Private Ryan, the only real giveaway is the idler. Are those fake road wheels that were put on in front of the real ones?
T55 is also also torsion bar suspension. The particular specialty, which I think you mean, is interleaved roadwheels.
@@tm5123 yea that's what I meant, my mistake sorry
Oh so that is why it looks so wonky. I mean it is still really impressive, although you can still notice something is off.
Tiger 205 was built off of a T-55 and some other AFV parts. The hull was reversed and the engine and transmission moved.

"lets go to beach and drink vine"

Not funny nor original

@@me67galaxylifeDoch sehr lustig :) !
tell me who lost the war again?
@@munastronaut8147 Joe
Tracks are way narrow and Germany used a low flash powder that made it hard to spot where the fire was coming from according to American tankers .
Its a t55 for one, and for 2 i dont know if the Germans actually used that, but either way the muzzle flash on a fuckin 88mm cannon would still be very intense, however its definetly black powder used here, the muzzle flash is way to much.
Tracks really can’t be changed though unlike the other parts since its just a t55
very good mock tbh

Agreed! Great work on the running gear. Nice build, machine guns and main gun sound great.
the tracks 100% give it away
Imagine David Attenborough narrating this. "Here you see a Tiger in its natural habitat..."😅
"Tiger 205 in Elizabethtown KY for Memorial Day. Built from a T-55 and other Armored fighting Vehicles. Built to spec. Hull was reversed and engine and transmission moved. Turret turns and the gun fires."
So you're saying its just a highly detailed replica body kit over a tank with a bunch of random parts?
@@HokuraChan0106 It's somekind of replica, not even accurate.
This replica looks awesome
Tiger 131 in Bovington is REAL and also could fire his REAL gun!
yep. Going this year. Just happened to have that weekend off from work, so why not. Hope it's worth the trip.
It looks better than the T-34/85 mockup tiger 1
It's a T-55
Captain, "We need Sticky Bombs!"
That replica Tiger needs a replica Michael Wittmann
Very well done 👏
Fantastic
Handsome Tiger...
That's a nice tiger replica, especially the wheels
bruh the lads loaded the black powder blank lmao
Thats one hungry beast.
*When it gives you the 88mm Stare*
That's so f...... cool! ❤
Tiger 131 is real, but this looks like a fine replica. Well done.
Damn bad ass gave me chills
They’re at it again
😍😍😍
Gut old times.
SUPER COOL ... I want one too !! ♥💪🏻😄
Jeeeaaah ❤💪🤝👌🥳
Wow
😮❤️🐶
tis is what brings smile to us men
I wonder what chassis was used for this replica.
t-55 by the looks of it
T-55
Chassis was built to tiger dimensions , t55 running gear only. 😊
that 88 😮
Worst Tiger replica I've seen was in Kellys Heroes. I think it was a T34 under all the cosmetics.
It was fine. At least it was not a Patton with painted crosses like in "The Battle of Bulge" or "Patton".

people complaining about it's not a real tiger, no shit sherlock it's a replica made for memorial day nobody gonna makes it 1:1 to tiger
Hold up... you mean to tell me this is just down the BG parkway and I had no idea.....Whats the website for all the info!!!!!
Man I was at that reenactment and got the same videos!
I watched it I was not in it, but it is one of the better reenactments around.
@@wildweasel3760 yes it sure is, do you happen to know if it’s going on again this year?
Wow! I loving seeing this tank in action
Im guessing this is the static replica made for fury tgat was then sokd to AusArmour who then chucked in t55 running gear , volvi truck engine which was then sold to un nammed person in the states 6 months ago?
Does anyone know if the tiger one makes a metallic bang when it fires its weapon?
Its black powder ....
Black powder loads for extra smoke effect?
Definitely, looks stupid.
I’m guessing they loaded those blanks with black powder? That’s a hell of a lot for smoke.
Whats the actual tank?
looks sorta like a pt78 but the tracks are too wide, and the drive is very t55. Looks much better then the tiger 34 in duxford that was used for saving privet ryan
Looking at the tracks,no
Not a real Tiger.
@@michaeld.uchiha9084 who you talking to? Tiger 34 is a fake tiger made out of a t34 for saving privet ryan, its in IWM duxford hidden in a French cafe
Too small for a Tiger, the hull is also wrong.
Nice replica but the gun didn't recoil like the real ones did
One thing I always hate about American reenactors portraying Wehrmacht soldiers is that most of them are always too old and overweight which takes the realism away from it.
The wehrmacht were known for being old and overweight though
@@pyroparagon8945volksturm
Wehrmacht was a regular army aka Strong younger men
Reenactors in general tend to be old and overweight. It’s just not usually a hobby that appeals to the young and fit.
@@singleproppilot Yeah that does make sense.
Impressive, Does it go anywhere else? Any tacticals?
I’ve seen the real last tiger in person at tiger fest last year
There is 6 tiger's left in the world not 1. You saw Tiger 131 the last driving one which is soon to be not the last
Is this some reenactment? Where?
This is in Elizabethtown Ky. its a reenactment that is put on every Memorial day weekend.
They play but the will never know the true horrors the men and civilians were faced with.
Is it a real 88mm canon?
Never knew this Tank existed awesome.
Yes it is based out of Tennessee
@@wildweasel3760 oh have the Tennessee peeps got their tiger in running order?
Its a fake tiger, a reproduction@@osmacar5331
@@osmacar5331 It's not a real Tiger
@@GudrezBilly pretty sure that is.
It's very cool! It's also 1/2 scale 😅
It's full scale. If you look at the size of crew members the proportions are correct, or very similar at least.
I want to buy/restore a tiger tank and live in it.
I mean bro there is 6 in the world and 5 are at museums (1 is a memorial) they ain't being sold lmao.
Also tanks are super small inside even a Tiger 1 which I was able to go inside and I'm not tall.
bro what in the short stack 8s this tiger 1?????? Why is it so low to the ground?????
Why so much smoke after firing the cannon ?
Germany’s Terminator, Oh yeah
The road wheels don't look right, did they use a T-34-85 chassis or a T55?
T55
A real tiger tank has 8 visible roadwheels on either side this tank only has 7 visible roadwheels...
Why is there so much smoke when the Tiger fired it's main weapon? Most guns, including turrets don't putout that much smoke?
The decided to use black powder. I guess it's for a bigger show, but it looks really bad.
@@epion660 Black powder?! Holy cow!
No wonder you got so much smoke.
Replica
Would this stand a chance of destroying modern advanced tanks?
The front is too angled.
