VSTank 1/24 Tiger 1 Mid-Production Winter Camo TankWhether you’re preparing for battle or planning a display, the VS 1/24 Tiger 1 Mid-Production Winter Camo makes a fine addition to your collection. The success ratio of this WWII tank was so profound, no enemy tank dared to engage it in open combat. This detailed R/C replica of the popular Allied WWII tank tackles rugged terrain and inclines of up to 35° with all-wheel suspension. The turret rotates 330° and the main gun recoils after firing infrared beams of light in mock combat with up to five other VS tanks. When the sensor on the opponent’s turret is hit, the tank is stopped in its tracks for 3 seconds, and after six hits the tank is disabled. Experience wireless armored warfare at its best with this detailed Tiger tank replica!
