Our final four (plus one) for this week is about to be posted.
From the Central European Regional, we feature this week's big boy, the Forces of Valor 1:16 scale 2011 Limited Edition version of the Tiger I tank, as it was seen in Poland in 1944 as part of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505. Wartoyz still had some in stock for $359.99.
In pursuit of greater firepower, the German Army created a series of heavy battle tanks. One of the most formidable was the Tiger Tank. With 100MM thick armor plating and an awesome 88MM gun, the Tiger was vastly superior to the Allied tanks it faced.
This Tiger I was emblazoned with the battalion logo of a charging knight on its turret.
The Forces of Valor 2011 Limited Edition Extreme Metal Tiger I possesses an incredible array of detailing on the tank. Beginning with the real metal tracks and continuing with working tank suspension, exquisite sculpting, casting and painting detail, and including many removable elements and tools. The engine compartment is accessible and the detailed engine will be removable and can be displayed separately.
This 1:16 scale Tiger 1 tank is approximately 16 inches long (22 inches including the gun barrel) and 9 inches wide. It includes a scale figure of the tank commander.
This 2011 Limited Edition Extreme Metal 1:16 Scale Tiger I is sure to become a sought after collector's item.

About this Model:
First flown in 1932, the Boeing P-26 Peashooter was the first all-metal production fighter and the first pursuit monoplane accepted by the U.S. Army Air Corps. Replicating a P-26A flown by the 20th Pursuit Group - the first group to receive the new plane in 1933 - stationed at Louisiana's Barksdale Field, this 1/48 scale, die cast Hobby Master model has it all!
You get engraved panel lines and real wire wing rigging, a detailed cockpit with a clear windscreen and a removable pilot figure, a realistic gun sight (from which the "Peashooter" got its nickname), an intricate Pratt & Whitney 600-horsepower Wasp engine with a rotating propeller, realistic landing gear, and authentic markings, including the group's "Victory by Valor" emblem on the fuselage. Measures 7" in wingspan and arrives ready to display on the included stand.
