Wow! How would you like to have either one of these Tigers for your collection? Sure puts those 1/72 scales to shame.

I'd have one angry wife if I bought one of those.

But I'd put a little tanker helmet on my puppy and put him in the TC hatch and the cuteness would overwhelm her!
 

Don't do what BDE tells you to do. Do what BDE would want you to do.

Are these tanks by Armortek and Mark I? Those are huge monsters!

My wife won't be angry. She'll just spend more on my credit card. If I'm lucky, she'll inform me after she has made her purchases.

And the first thing she would buy is a diecast anti tank gun in the same scale---if she could find one.

Hush! Don't give her any ideas. Knowing the resourcefulness of Singaporean women, I am sure she can. If not, she'll commission somone to custom-build one. For a safe measure, looks like I have to stick to Tiger and King Tiger diecasts. Don't think my Tamiya plastic models can withstand hits from ATGs!

Just think if either scale of these Tigers would fire live ammo instead of blanks. A "88 mm" shell would be a "22mm" shell in 1/4 scale.....

And I thought my 1:16 panzer section was impressive!! Best I could do was my sons hamster in the T.C. hatch of the Tiger 1,little rascal ate his own helmet,though,and nobody could understand his fire commands (Hoch-Hamsterisch)
