Tamiya's new 1/16 scale Tiger I is a monstrously impressive kit and TMMI brings you a mega 14 page article on this fully functional, RC scale masterpiece. Editor Marcus Nicholls takes you step by step through the construction of the Tiger I, from the opening of the massive box to detailed instructions on high performance RC tanking.

Learn ample ways to intensify the detailing on your tank, including how to convert an old kitchen sieve into realistic mesh intake screens. You'll also find out how to use a soldering iron to give it the "peppered with holes from machine gun fire" look, typically found on Tigers in Russia. But the Editor's pursuit of Russia battle scars does not stop there. After applying an overall faded winter scheme to the machine, he describes a clever way to weather the beast with a Scotchbright pad and some good old XF63 German Grey.

Once you've achieved the "grunge" look on your Tiger I, read on to find out exactly what you need to do to get your tank rolling-not to mention rotating, shooting, recoiling, roaring, and flashing. No fan of scale or RC models should miss this informative article!
