Able to penetrate the armor of Allied vehicles even beyond a typical engagement range, the German Tiger I's 8.8cm cannon earned a reputation for lethal, unmatched firepower. 1,347 were built between August 1942 and August 1944. After this date, production of the Tiger I was phased out in favor of the Tiger II. This special edition from Heng Long depicts a specific S33 Tiger I tank that fought in the Battle of Kursk in 1943, embracing the legend of the Chinese character “Fu Tiger”.
This Heng Long Professional Edition model contains heavy duty metal tracks, road wheels, and idlers, while an extensive feature list includes lights, exhaust smoke, realistic sound system, Infrared battle system, airsoft BB launch, and more! All of Pulse RC’s Heng Long 1/16 scale tanks utilize the latest TK7.0 MFCB for outstanding control, performance, and upgrade potential!
