Hobbyboss 1:16 Scale Pz.Kpfw VI Tiger I Assembly Kit

if you want to try and build a large tank kit this is the way to go, good price but be aware that it was ment to be a rc tank theirs no interior detail you get working tracks each track is made up of 92 links each side the detail on the hole is good but one or too of the details are not right also their is alot of screwing parts together over all i think this is a very good kit just take your time and you will have a nice model at the end.

I just had to buy this when I saw the scale (1/16") and the price. Spent many happy hours building it up. The quality of the mouldings is excellent and the instruction sheet is pretty clear. As it happens, not a huge amount of glueing is needed with most parts being screwed together and the finished result, with fully operational suspension and tracks is a joy to behold. Spend some time with mine on painting and I think the finished result is well worth the effort.

For a 1/16 kit this is great value for money. It is a converted R/C kit and still has a battery tray in the hull, but this is not really noticeable and can be filled or covered in 'mud' if needed. It is not as detailed as the Tamiya or Trumpeter Tiger kit, but then it is over half the price. The suspension works but can be a bit fiddly to build, but otherwise this is fairly straightforward build. I have attached a couple of photos of my finished example. Hobbyboss also do a T-34 which I have also built and is another great model offering value for money.

My first 1.16 tank nice looking kit well detail would pat again

At first I was thinking the model is crab quality but don't be out off because initially the wheels are kind of poor compared to tamiya. But for this price and what it turned out to look it is amazing. Worth the price!!! I'm a beginner it's my first model so probably could be better.

Good but only get if you have infinite patience and 6 arms, nightmare to construct

I have almost finished this model, it looks fantastic, well that’s my opinion anyway. I don’t claim to be a great model maker but for me, this scale has great detail and easier than 1/35 scale which I have tried to build. My eye sight isn’t the best so 1/16 is for me.

low detail but low price. Very well packaged and huge but low on surface detail. Started life as an RC toy and this shows with visible screws and molded closed hatches. The fit of parts is 100% and very little flash. Huge fun to build.
