Hi Antony

I KNEW there was a good reason I needed a King Tiger!

For towing the others, of course!

I'll run it by the boss (wife) and see how the idea goes over. If you guys don't hear from me in a week, send an ambulance.

Regards
Tim

Great looking videos

Did you disconnect the motors or is it managing to turn the whole system

I found it almost impossible to turn the Sherman tracks manually once the motors had been connected.

Hi Adrian,

No, the motors were still engaged

. Just goes to show how powerful these tanks are as the ground wasn't the best but I think Paul's Tiger coped really well. That's another advantage of an all metal tank as I tried to pull my GRP Tiger II and the towing hooks actually came off the body

Thanks Antony

Hi Anthony,
Great Videos! It's amazing to see a tank tows another one (Real tank or model one).

You are lucky the GRP Tiger 2 wasn't torn apart, only its shackles......

Cheers,
