I'm an elementary school teacher, I bought the desert tiger for a kid and his history nerd dad sent me a long thanks letter and some pictures of his son assemblying the tank and messing with it, i just now realized how detailed and superb this model is and how much i screwed it by not keeping it for myself
When I was 15, I built 1/76 & 1/72 scale tank kits. I remember using black thread to tie the tracks down like they were real heavy metal tracks.
3:27 The "hatch" is actually a pistol port. The real one does not open. 14:28 The narrator wishes that the cupola would rotate, but the real one didn't rotate. It was a genuine problem with the Tiger, that the commander's hatch was always in a specific position, blocking his view. Unfortunately this model doesn't have the right position. The model has pins that fix the cupola angle, but it's wrong. One of his viewing slots should be pointing exactly forwards, and the hatch hinge should be at his 2 o'clock. 4:30 That "box" is actually a solid block that's used to sit the jack on, when you're jacking up the tank. 7:50 FOV have painted the fuel tanks a solid red. That's just wrong. They were made of non-ferrous metal and were not painted at all. Back in the early 1990s an artist painted a Tiger cutaway for a book cover, and he was the first person to depict those tanks as red, and his mistake gets repeated in models and kits as the years go by. He actually consulted with me on his image but didn't send it to me for checking. 7:55 The main fans are not well done. They don't have their blanking plates that would cover the gaps around them. They spin in opposite directions; the real ones were all the same. And they're some distance from their proper position. 10:50 I don't know if you're handling the hatches as FOV intended. The middle, solid rectangle was not a hatch, it was a panel, bolted down. The large grating ahead of it was also bolted down; you could remove it but it was not hinged and it was not linked to the solid panel. Only the rear gratings were hinged to open. You might prop them open if you needed extra airflow, but there are very, very few photos of Tigers doing that. 12:06 The biggest accuracy mistake on the outside of this model, is that large metal-painted C-hook locked into two holders on the left side of the rear wall. Tigers of this era simply didn't have it. They had nothing at all right there. 13:05 A missing segment of skirting is usually damage. It could result in a lot of mud getting thrown up onto your tank. These items were only 5mm thick metal sheeting and were often bent and twisted. 14:00 That little red wheel was actually for the commander to help out in turning the turret! The real one was black, not red.
Thats some good info! I appreciate it 💯👍
Yeah ..the REAL tiger tanks😭 these are toys bro it's alright
@@JeremiahJackson-qm6zp Word salad.
The side skirts were for dust not protection. There's a books like tiger tracks which is first hand accounts and describe the tank. That's how I know those skirts are for the dust giving away there position. The panzer IV has shirtzen as extra protection later in the war.the north African version is the earliest tigers . The tools are called pioneering tools . Cool tanks
One word : Detail 👍🏻 I usually dont really like FOV but looking at these tanks makes me want to collect them as well
They looked more like toys when they're in the box, but they looked less toys after putting them by themselves. Tiger tanks are way too cool. Especially like the winter camo, desert camo version. Very nice weathering job. Nice review as well. German tanks are generally so appealing, in my opinion. Could you review more WW 2 German tanks or/and armor?
@3:45 hatch "hello there I open"
Super cool! Thanks for taking the time to create the video! Your video made me spend the money to buy the tank.
Hi! That 1 piece was called a 'jacking block.helped if tank was on soft ground.enjoy your show.very much!
The 'ammo boxes' are blocks of wood that were placed under the jacks.
I have several 1:32 FOV Tiger sets and they look great with great detail - my only issue is that they have not changed the roadwheels of late war tiger I models. Apart from that they are brilliant. I have two FOV King Tigers as well and 2 M1A1 sets - FOV is really good quality & fair price!
Escellent comparison. This is the first time I’ve seen a detailed info about the different parts of the tank. I’ve collected FOV a long time ago when they were still available in box stores and they have options to buy figurines it they were not good looking T that time so I skip them but they now seem to have improved.
they looked really detailed on all versions and have historic details from forces of Valor.
I had a 1/16 scale Tiger...also full metal. What a monster.
Nice! I’m still looking for one of those to review. Forces of Valor is supposedly working on a new 1/16 diecast Tiger.
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews That’s great news! I’m also hoping to get my hands on one of those. The ones you can get on eBay now are just absurdly priced. Definitely time for a new model.
Damned! I wish I had that many subscribers too. Great channel and great video!😉👍
Thank you! It took a bit to get here 😂. Great channel as well 👍
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews 2 years! That is not long 😆
I love looking at tanks.. a great detailed viewing.. 😊
Thank you! 👍💯
I just recently purchased the Modified Sturmtiger and I love it. Amazing details on the model. Looking forward on buying the Jagdtiger later.
Great reviews, I have so many boxes full of these type of models still in the box. I collected them 20 or so years ago. I'm a ww2 guy so these were cool to find and collect them. Maybe one day i'll get them all out or just keep them safe in there boxes inside of bigger boxes. Flash/Thunder
Pistol hatch on the left side and the round one right is the loaders hatch. Neat model!!! Have 1/6 scale rd tiger im working on.
Just so you know. Idk it's a random detail but the wooden "box" on the front of tiger tanks isn't a box. It's a wooden block. It's used with the jack to help it not sink into the ground. So it's a jack block? Just part of the engineering tools to help you repair the tank in the field
Well detailed model! I noticed that the turret roof has a molded in weld seam detail between the turret roof & sides.
Wow, you couldn't have done a better job with this review. I have all three as well but still boxed awaiting a perfect spot for display somewhere. I also have their 88 and a few other North Afrika campaign vehicles I want to display next to each other.
These look great! Definitely want to get these!
Super cool
First hatch was a pistol port they had on the early tanks, they didnt open.. and not an ammo box (lol you funny) was a wooden block used with the massive jack for maintenance.
Thank you for posting this video! After watching it I ordered the Tiger which I am now enjoying 😁 the details and paint job are fantastic.
Your welcome, glad it helped! 🫡
Great reviews. I purchased all 3 Tigers. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks! Glad I got all 3 as well 👍🪖
Heat the rubber band tracks up with a hairdryer when them sag rod's are in let them cool and remove them they should hold in position without the rod's! They do on Normal model kits I build if have to use rubber tracks till get metal ones or 3D printed ones sent through!
I got the winter and just ordered the N Africa...The metal tracks make a huge difference the rubber on winter one snapped apart.
Nice to see Forces of Valor doing some 1/32 armor releases again. Looks like they have a new corporate "partner" as these are new releases with slightly different packaging. But my, how the price has gone up. I am used to 2008 pricing, on these, and all sorts of 1/18. But always thought these FoV 1/32 armor were great value, as with the Dragon 1/35 pre built. The metal track option is great as well, but costs as much as an entire model, back in the day. But nice to see these being re released, as it is a good line. BTW, love your reviews, and opening up 1/18 to model collectors that may not know much about it.
Hi mate. I had real trouble fitting those tracks and removed one pin and it fits much better now not to much slack.
Great Review 👍
Thank you 👍💯
As a kid I had couple Dinky metal tanks. Using my little Daisy I shot couple of BBs at tanks then added paint. The tanks looked like real veterans with amazingly appropriate scars of bounced hits.
Very nice Models 🤩 It would be nice to see you doing a tank comparison of all your FOV 1/32 WW2 Tanks
Already got the Kursk Tiger got it at Christmas couple years ago alongside with the metal additional tracks. Would like to get the Winter Tiger (Leningrad) and Afrika Korps Tiger (Tunisia). Also withe the metal tracks, I tested them out on the original Unimax Tiger and they fit perfectly 😉 might get another set and Tiger to actually do that 😂 Will you do more German vehicles?
You do a great job presenting. I would love to see you do some more research so when you speak about the details your accurate The wood is a jack block and the small hatch at the back was for discarding spent shell casings
Good video my friend
FANTASTIC
Good review 👍 I didn't know they were still around. I bought a crap load of these when they were sold at Walmart. The details on the models are just 😎 I like the weathering effects effects
Thank you! I agree, they are 💯.
Unfortunately they did go out of business but apparently sold off their dies, etc. Walterson's picked up the name and has continued the legacy. Sadly the price has also dramatically increased from those long ago days when they were sold at Walmart and Toys R Us like you said.
Great Video...I really like The Kursk Version....Thanks 4 review
Thank you!
Another great video and presentation. The metal tracks look more realistic and are way better the the plastic ones.
Thank you! I agree about the metal tracks. Makes a big difference.
Very nice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I got the Tunisia 121 Tiger with a set of the metal tracks. It seems that the tracks that I received are more weathered than yours. Also, are there any sites that carry spare parts for these? Because I Chad a clevis split in half on me when trying to install it on my tank.
I looked it up and the models are epic one can make a stop motion with those by the way can they move and also the Africa as well as the Kursk model are tiger h1 and early water cooled engine
Great review.....I'm getting the winter version....
Thank you! Good choice 👍💯
Round hat to the ammo loading hatch
Sweet tigers!!!🐯🐯🐯
Beautiful 3 cats
Did I see the track price right because if so wow that is a lot
Muito legal! 🌟👍
No that the pistol port on the side! The hatch is on the other side but you will find the very early dumbo Tiger 100 with side bins innthe grey and whitewash has 2 pistol ports and no escape hatch! The cupola top hatch will come right off so they can use the same castings for different variants as the cupla changed from the drum type later on etc and the rear fifel air intakes with the hosing will no be on the white wash version just the exhausts! Tiger 100 is really different the tracks are also mirror type it's the most different Tiger 1 you'll see to all the rest! Tiger 100 i had to add this edit but Tiger 100 was the grey with white wash i just noticed this 3 tone has 100 on the turret too! Winter Tiger 100 It should have different tracks avaliable for Tiger 100 you can't use the normal metal tracks for it there different!
the german music box, my 2nd favorite tank
Do you know where I can get some of these models?
Excellent and thorough reviews. I hope you review FOV's Jumbo Sherman "Cobra King"---it's got some big errors on it.
Thank you! I have the FOV Jumbo Sherman I will be reviewing as well.
Grandpa let's you drive his old Porsche The Porsche
Thank You so much for this video.And WHERE IS King 🐯 ( TIGER II.) ???
Hi cooles Video aber die Box auf der Oberseite der Wanne ist ein Holzblock,den hat man verwendet wen der Untergrund zu weich wahr, Dan konnte man den Wagenheber darauf stelle so das diesel nicht einsinkt. Könntest du mahl deutsche modelle Im masstab 1/24 vorstellen, das währe Echt super.😊
Nice
I hope you do more videos of ww2 German tanks and armored vehicles.
I think that the hatch that accidentally opened up during 4:00 was the escape hatch
Hi I am just wondering if anybody makes 1/32 tank medal kit to bolt together
Bellissimi tutti e tre 👍👌german carro tank tigre 🐅 ❤🙏
Makes me want to work on my 1/35 Tiger I Early with interior! 1/35 Academy.
Different model of tigers..all look to be early variants.? Mid to late war variants have a different commanders cupola..
my favorite is the eastern front one
Can you make a b17 video
Awesome tanks. I’m looking to purchase a line up but trying to figure out aprox avg length and width of these tanks. I’m building a G scale train Layout which has a few tanks on the train cars. I’m not sure if these brand tanks here will be about same size even though 1:32. I’d you could measure one is so appreciate it and your time thanks again. Ron
These are the dimensions: 263 x 110 x 93 mm / 10.35 x 4.33 x 3.33 in.
Nice tank bro can't wait them to produce E8 Sherman with 76mm gun and Panther
hi great video , not a hatch though its a pistol port for close defense .
excellent details, they made it for different fronts, great review! btw, please do a review on Soviet tanks and planes...
Thank you! I have A hobby Master 1:48 T-34 Tank to review.
pertty cool, would love to get inside the real thing though
I have a fascination with tanks, I can't explain why.
Is this metal proud or forces of valor?
It's Forces of Valor "Metal Proud". Just a line of products for them.
Please unboxin the tanks of opo10
I think these are the German tanks that Fury was fighting one on one in the field that they took it out from killing it from the rear
Is there is any strumtiger rc?
Not from this brand but you could probably convert it though.
I hope they are going to make some more modern tanks
Same here 👍💯
Amazing quality, but a bit pricey 👍💪
Yes, but for the level of detail I guess price is reasonable.
hola me gustó el video saludo 🤜🤛👍
Thank you!
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews 👍👍👌👌
Can you buy su 35 "i mean toy"
13:59 self destruct button, the Germans didn’t want there tigers falling into enemy hands, so the blew them up when they had to abandon them, becuase they forgot to set the charge on tiger 131 so that’s how we got tiger 131
coooooooooooooooool
i want that
That non-opening turret hatch is for passing ammunition through.
Good info. Thank you!
Great video. How much was this Tiger?
They are about $129 plus shipping. I posted the links to purchase in my video description.
Wow, I figured it would be at least $100. I hope they come out with a King Tiger.
I have a lot of these I didnt realise they were still making them.
These are the new models/molds after Waltersons bought Forces of Valor from Unimax.
👍👍
My gawd, do I have to say more??? It was a major production just lacing the tracks on.
Just remember and match your tracks to your specific Tiger tank! There all different! And make sure you get them the correct way round!
To start a tiger is to crank the engine.
Hopefully FOV will release 1/32 scale new tooled Panther and Jagdpanther in the future 🙏🙏
They said that they were on Facebook like a couple years ago so it would probably take another couple of years until they come out.
Yes , i think so
I have a 1/72 scale tiger 1 tank that belonged to the black baron
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Tiger Tank is the forever legend. here is my dream Tiger Tank: in 1/6 scale, remote-controlled like Armortek, exterior look as Force of Valor, inside built to Academy, priced at 21st Century...or should I just go to Bovington to steal 131?😂
Haha 💯% agree
中国メーカープラモも沢山あり過ぎでカオス化かなぁ！？32分の1で新しいスケールで統一して欲しいですねぇ👍
Hi there some how your channel pop on my KZhead and I am now very interested in forces of valor . I did Lionel train displays at train shows. One I do every year is at Washington State History Museum. Well I have over 75 Sherman Tanks and other tanks and equipment. I started getting German Tiger tanks now and other equipment. It’s all 1/43 scale but I am thinking of getting a few 1/32 for a bigger display in the front of my modular layout. For the 80 ANNIVERSARY of the Battle of the Bulge I’ll be watching your channel
Hey! Thats awesome, I like models trains too and almost bought some original vintage Lionel Trains myself. Thats a lot of Shermans! It was a great Tank. I love the FOV 1/32 scale tanks.
So many screws for what 😭 thats what i don't understand about di cast stuff
Wanted this but were immediately sold out and discontinued
I keep seeing them pop up on Ebay. Try Amazon as well. Sometimes they have good deals on these.
That is a pistol port.
It's a shame it didn't have real lights on it and sounds of it moving and shooting the different types of guns on it
That would be cool. I’m sure you can easily rig something up bc of the space inside.
@@MilitaryVehicleReviews right. How much are the tanks
