Super Cool 1:1 scale Tiger 1 Tank replica- slightly O/T

Mon Jul 15, 2013 9:29 am

This would be awesome at an airshow.... gives something for the P-47's and Mustangs to "strafe"
Built in Romania in fairly austere conditions. Really shows that where there is a will there is a way. Looks like ex-soviet BMP or T-55 running gear?

Here is one built by Sir Peter Jackson's Weta Workshops, NZ. The main gun fires blanks and it starred at Classic Fighters airshow, Omaka over Easter this year.
Weta have also built a Tiger II for a film, and in 2011 we had their Pz IV at the show.
