brunojj1's Lego Technic Power Functions TIGER TANK

[DLuders]

brunojj1 created this Lego Technic Panzerkampfwagen IV TIGER TANK with Power Functions, and Technicmad posted his Lego Digital Designer (LDD) .lxf Building Instructions on Rebrickable! There are very few MOTORIZED Lego Tanks with FREE INSTRUCTIONS available on the internet. Brunojj1 wrote on his YouTube video description that "Building big scale Lego tanks is my favourite subject. My opinion is this: don`t make real war, stay a kid and play with little sweet Lego military stuff ;-)!

"This MOC provides Lego Power Functions, remote control, individual steering of each track, full suspension, 2 XL motors for drive which are supported by 2 M motors and 2 motors for the steering of the turret and the cannon.

"If you like it, you can build it too!!! I just have made a complete building instruction of the tank! It took me a few days of very, very tricky work. There are separate instructions for the body, the turret and accessories."

See 13 pictures on his Brickshelf gallery. The complete Parts List is on Rebrickable, and you can download the LDD .lxf file there too. This tank has nice detail!

OK, it's a Lego Model Team Panzer IV Tiger Tank. The real tank has 8 4 idler wheels on the bottom of the tank treads:

Panzer IV is not a Tiger. Not sure why it has been named as such.

This model is of a Tiger I tank, that is pretty obvious from the superstructure. The missing overlapping road wheels are the only major omittance that I've noticed.

Well, I learned something new today. After reading this Tiger I Tank article, I crossed out the incorrect information and photo above. Thanks for correcting me!

Hi

the german wikipedia said as DLuders posted before a Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger.

You can also find an overview that also named the Tiger this way.

Btw. this MOC has great details.

DLuders wrote Panzer IV, and showed a picture of a Panzer IV.

You are referring to Panzer VIE, otherwise known as the Tiger I, which is the point I was making.

I'm going to sound like a pedant, but it has 24 road wheels per side.

Fascinating piece of engineering -http://www.alanhamby.com/suspension.shtml

I do believe that I have also seen all of the wheels modeled by others. The rest of this model is very good however and leaving out this complex setup is understandable.

Hi

i see - why they have not used arabic numbers instead of latin... damn it ;)

The "four" is quiet smaller than the "six".
