Small Scale Military Headquarters

Paid $100 for mine which included shipping and I thought I got a great deal, but can't beat this. If you are not stuck in the 1/18 scale, can't beat this opportunity to get a King Tiger. Not sure what accessories could be missing. Only comes with the spare track links for side of turret and the figure which is only the top half of the body anyway.

Nice, but this part would worry me..

HAS EITHER BEEN TESTED AND IS NOT WORKING OR IS UNTESTED IN BOX

Depends if you are a RC guy or not. Never ran any of my Heng Long or Matorro tanks. Just want them for display. Someone made a post on here once calling displayed tanks "dust queens". Not sure how you keep dust off of RC models. Running them is not going to keep dust off of them. Seem they would collect just as much dust if not more, especially if you ran them outside. I just don't think people should belittle whatever someone elses hobby is.

I guess the point is that most of guessed that a 21st KT would have been a minimum of $100 plus $15 or so for shipping. So $80 which included shipping seemed like a pretty good price whether it ran or not. There are several members who have one and know its a nice model. Not 1/18 but close.

Looks like a pretty good deal for as you say display.
Where else we going to get a King Tiger close to the 1:18 scale.

Boy howdy on the dust. My 1/6 Stuart M5 is covered with it.
Which brings up a question.
Where's the best place to repair some glitches I have in mine?
When I try to fire the cannon, it goes in reverse. Sometimes it'll fire, but sometimes not.
For a minute there I thought it was a recoil thing, but I know it's not suppose to do that.
I've fully charged the battery so I know that's not the problem.
Should I take it into an RC hobby shop that sells planes and cars?
It's one of my favorite toys, and I can't win any backyard battles with the dog if my tank isn't fully functional.

With all of the craziness going on over at JSI I wouldn't count out the 21st KT at this point.

i honestly don't think JSI has the molds. They only have a fraction of 21c's old molds anyway, and i just dont think the KT is one of them.

Boy, i bet a 1/16 KT is about the same size as a 1/18 abrams...maybe bigger.

Uh-oh. It was $80 this morning. They upped the price by $10.
