As an ex Scania Master Technician I did a quite 'YEESSS!' when I saw the engine. That DS14 V8 is a monster engine. Totally unbreakable. I restored a 143/450 with an earlier version of this with mechanical fuel injection which was 'fun' to set up. Proper sound as well ...
This is SO MUCH better than the "Tigers" used in Kelly's Heroes and Private Ryan, you did a GREAT job on the road wheels configuration, damn amazing effort !!! Looks GREAT !!!
The work they put into this replica was astonishing
You folks are an INTERNATIONAL treasure. Thank you for all your efforts in keeping history alive!!
Outside of the tracks and suspension, it's probably the most realistic replica of the Tiger that I've seen ( well, other than the plastic Tiger at Koblenz and the running replica that the Russians created for the movie White Tiger but never used).
Just watching that move gives you an idea of the sense of power a person must have felt.
Does it come with free postage and handling?
Love the iconic sound of the scania v8 greetings from πΈπͺ
A much more convincing Hollywood Tiger than the T-34 mockups we've seen in earlier movies. The only giveaway is the slightly higher placement of the drive sprockets, but it's still orders of magnitude better than the other faux Tigers we've seen over the years. Well done!
Brilliant stunt double. Thanks guys for sharing. You do such great work. Your on my bucket list to visit (from Tassie). I visited Bovington Tank Museum back in 2010 where I saw many great vehicles and touched most of them - including Tiger 131. Great trip that I will always remember. Cheers
Have to imagine it would be pretty darned terrifying to hear one of those rolling up on your position, when you don't have anything heavy enough to take it down.... YIKES!
Thats a film makers dream
That thing is terrifying!! good luck with the sale!!!
Imagine having that parked on your drive it would be really cool.
Great work gang , a hearty well done .
