1\/16 Scale German Tiger I Late Heavy Tank from Torro - RTR - TOR1112800105
The Tiger I, a German heavy tank of World War II, operated from 1942 in Africa and Europe, usually in independent heavy tank battalions. It was designated Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf H during development but was changed to Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf E during production. The Tiger I gave the German Army its first armoured fighting vehicle that mounted the 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun (derived from the 8.8 cm Flak 36). 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944.
Faithfully recreated in 1\/16 scale, Torro continues to grow its reputation as a producer of high quality, high functioning RC tanks. This Pro Edition of the German Tiger I features more than 70% metal part construction, a 360 degree rotating turret, a realistic torsion bar suspension, and a barrel recoil and muzzle flash effect that fires in sync with the IR (infrared) battle system. This version is delivered as RTR (Ready to Run), meaning it is fully functional out of the box.

Heavy Metal Castings
Hoist hooks, spare track links and even simulated "welds" are reproduced in cast metal! The iconic "Zimmerit" coating applied by tank crews to repel magnetic mines is also molded into the plastic upper hull for additional period accuracy.

Barrel Recoil
The barrel has fully functioning recoil to further the scale realism and appeal.
