So is it a custom? The #104 is an odd color. I thought the 21st KT's had some of the skirts missing on each side.

Used sounds like it has been around . I think it is 1/32 as well.

If not and it is 1/18 scale I am bidding on it !!

......... yep , it's a custom 1:32nd KT . That's my educated guess.


* The 1st. & 2nd. series 1:32nd KT's did have a few schürzen panels removed.



->>>--------> Go ahead and bid on it and jack it up to a $150.oo bucks !

Now that would have been the biggest surprise if it were the 1/18 Tiger.

how could it possibly be 1/18? Unless this guy got a hold of the prototype somehow. Too bad he's not taking questions....

The paint scheme of the ebay King Tiger on the left side appears to match the paint scheme of the All-go 1/18 King Tiger in the second photo.
Maybe the ebay seller got possession of the All-go/21st Century 1/18 prototype. Also note the same seller has a 1/18 M2 Bradley that's listed as being "in prototype box. "

it's a woman selling these (cat woman toys) and she doesnt' even know the names of the tanks, so she must have gotten them second hand.

However, she is selling a 1/18 winter panther.....

Could this be 1/18 somehow?? It doesnt match the 1/32 pics and it's an odd custom to make, blue 104 and put full skirts on it, dont you think?

Where's TKO when we need him.....he may know what it is.

There are a lot of differences between his KT and the 1/32 I have in front of me. If he customized it, then he went to a lot of trouble. Making that little round hatch on top behind the cmdr's cupola; removing and creating a new fan cover to the cmdr's right; hollowing out the lift handles atop the turret so they look like metal bars not plastic tabs; reworking the entire rear deck - the list can go on.

If this is not 1/32, then what is it and where did it come from?

EDIT: Dang, a lot of you posted between me starting mine and finishing it so ignore the obvious statements.

PICKELHAUBE:

The dimensions are already listed in the ebay ad:

"Approximate measurements on the tank are 14"x8.5"x7".

............ hmmm , it's certainly got me. ... However , you could try and gauge its size by the window blinds behind it. Never the le$$ w/ 4-days to go , it'll definitely get jacked up now that the word is out , especially here. :lol:

Compare the similar paint schemes between the ebay King Tiger and the All-go King Tiger:

Also, as I posted before, the ebay seller already has posted the dimensions in the ad:

"Approximate measurements on the tank are 14"x8.5"x7".

those dimensions aren't right. The KT was about 24 feet long, no? So it should be 16 inches long at least. Was there a 1/24 KT?

She answered my email only to tell me she doesn/t ship to canada....lol. I emailed again explaining a 1/18 KT doesnt exist and asked her what size it is and where she got it.

OMG!

It is 1/18 gang. Here is her response:


Hi again, yes it is a 1:18 scale tank. I received it with a huge lot of 21st items which I was told came directly from the company right after they went out of business. This must have been a production sample or prototype which never was made. It measures 14" Long x8.5" wide x7" Tall and 22" from the front of the gun to the back of the tank. Hope this helps. Thanks, heather

Looks like all the emails spooked her.

my guess is it will reappear with a big minimum bid now that she knows what she has.
