Schweben (hover) Tiger
« on: June 02, 2012, 02:57:14 AM »
Folks,

A week ago I get an idea to build a hover version of german Tiger. I plan to use AMT Podracer engines as a main propulsion and mount wheels aslant as a anti grav generators. I want to use Leopard 2 cannon instead of standard 88 mm. And my question is : should I? :) What do you think:)

Maybe... :) On first forum where I was registered the Tiger was kind of ...sacred. If anybody would like to start whiff modification of Tiger there would be strong resistance and even stronger disregard for any blasphemous experiments over the Tiger tank :)

What he said.  This is the last place on the web where you should feel compelled to ask "Should I?" about building anything.  It's your muse; build whatever you feel it compels you to build.

Sounds like a cool idea to me! ESPECIALLY if it irritates the sort of JMNs that believe the Tiger to be "sacred". ;)


Treating a subject as sacred is an especially odd attitude to take towards model building anyway. I'm a huge fan of WW2 allied armor but if someone did a grav tank version of a Pershing or Comet, I would love to see it. I've seen a few sci-fi Sherman tanks and some of them have been pretty off the wall but it's never bothered me in the least.

Why stop with the Tiger - have an entire German Army hovercraft. Would have worked well for them on the Russian steppe. That is until the Soviets build a T-34 hovercraft!

My only technical recommendation is to stick a huge muzzle brake on the main gun. When suspended on the air cushion a hovercraft is strongly susceptible to recoil knocking it off kilter.

Or have the internal carriage Panther a forward engined 'Merkava Panther' with an aft ramp from which comes a Goliath with legs! Hover - tracks - legs. Then post back on the original web forum to really screw with their minds!

You mean that these three front  "flaps" on each engine of podracer are fume extractors? I thought that they're kind of airbrakes.  Anyway , on this Tiger these canted flaps are airbrakes :)

Still nothing more to show. I bought these sets:

http://www.mojehobby.pl/products/Accessories-and-Guns.html

I've never build anything vac-formed before. I've always known that is difficult but I've never thought how much. Also...surprisingly I've spotted two resin figure sets by Jaguar Models:

Easily one of the coolest armor models I have EVER seen!  :-*

Can't get over how naturally good that 120MM looks on it too, Its really fits well.

That and like to add how "business as usual" it appears with hover armor.
Quality of finish - about a lightyear beyond me.
