No 21st King Tiger, comments on Matorro 1/16?
No 21st King Tiger, comments on Matorro 1/16?
With all 21st's troubles I don't think we will see a King Tiger released in 1/18 in the near future.
I am beginning to lean towards making my first purchase in 1/16 scale.
Anyone care to make any comments/suggestions on the Matorro 1/16 version of the King Tiger.
Does anyone have one and does it display well with your XD ?

Been several posts over the last couple of months about the 1/16 Matorro KT. You must have missed them. Heres a post that I made about the 21st figs. and the KT.

Shop ebay and you will eventually find a used one at a reasonable price. Got mine for $92 shipped.

Thanks for the link hotrodrock. I did a brief search before posting but didnt come across your post.
That is the paint scheme KT i have been looking at. I guess being the only KT in my collection it would look good next to my XD vehicles and the 21st tankers seem to suit. Is it the type that "shoots" airsoft BB's ?.

I would open it up and check for any wiring glitches and stuff before you plug in the battery.Aslav wrote:Picked one up for $200 AUS ($130US) posted from a local internet retailer. Its on the way to me now. Can't wait to get it opened up.
My 1/16 jagdpanther smoked as soon as I turn the switch OFF (shorted leads) still waiting for promised replacement parts.

I have 4 Jagdpathers from Henglong, all work perfectly. 2 Grey 2 Camo. One Camo is green based, green a little bright, perfer the sand based camo, there is also just a sand scheme which looks fine, but 4 is my limit. Too dumb to know how to post photos, sorry.
Woo Hoo. My 1/16 KT arrived late last week. It is one massive beast.
scbvideoboy, The seller assured me that all his tanks have been given the thorough once over before he sends them out, so no faults.
In comparison to my XD 1/18 tanks it looks okay. The fine details like tools and tow bolts give it away as slightly larger scale.
dragon53, I'm posting this at work , I will try and take some pics and post them on the weekend (time permiting).

Ok, guys. These have been posted more than once. Somebodys not visiting here enough . Anyway here are a few. Mine has had some light weathering done to it. They do not come with decals but come with stickers which I certainly don't like after putting them on. Have since removed them and bought some decals off of ebay.dragon53 wrote:Can anyone post photos of the Matorro 1/16 King Tiger?

nice pictures guys, thanks.
I'm going to hold off getting the matorro until there is postive confirmation that the 21c KT is dead. The matorro is nice but it is over scale, costs a hefty bit more and needs a good paint job.
The r/c features don't really appeal to me so that's not really a plus, in my books. The only thing i like better about it is the zimmerit......and the fact that it exists, of course.
But i'm still betting on the 21c one appearing...

No problemo's , I understood your point of view with the manufacturer/customizers pic's not being a true representation of the product.dragon53 wrote:ASLAV:
Thanks for posting the King Tiger photos.
My pic's are straight out of the box, the camera flash shows the camo as having a "purple tinge" when it really should be a "rusty brown" color. Comes with a 1/16 MG42 and a crappy Commander figure.
I am with aferg, if a XD King Tiger ever see's the light of day I will snap one up (depending on price/shipping to Down Under )
