    Pretty neat but wouldn't it be cheaper to just buy an actual tank?

    hello, not even close. There is only one Tiger tank that is operational #131 in England. Which was featured in the very good movie "Fury" These replicas are very cool though a lot lighter therefore it can use a less powerful and less complicated drivetrain. Would be great for regular movie shots and reanactment events.

    A real Tiger tank would be extremely tempermental and very expensive to maintain as parts would be imposible to find, so they need to be made. There may be another that the Zwiss are rebuilding. Just like any WW2 fighter plane would be around a million dollars and much more for example an P51d is even higher.

    That's really cool info.

    In the past, I always thought they had real Tiger tanks in the movie Kelly's Heroes.

    Anyway, here's 131

    Gotcha. I didn't consider/realize the significance of a "Tiger" tank. Just remember seeing functional tanks for sale for much less than this replica.
