My recent watching of "Hunting Hitler" on the History Channel prompted this recent purchase of the VS Tanks 1/24th scale German Military Panzer 6 King Tiger RC model. VS Tanks does a great job of capturing the precise scale of the over 20 ton engineering marvel of 1945. This RTR unit comes complete with tank, radio and some cool scale accessories. Just add 14 "AA" batteries and you're off and "tanking"
Here's where I got it and some info from VS Tanks:
