She better not run into the German Tiger 1 from Wartoyz for $359.99. Guess she won't, as this one was sent to Poland.
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 special 1:16 scale 2011 Limited Edition version of the Tiger I recreates the Tiger I tank as it was seen in Poland in 1944. As part of Schwere Panzer Abteilung 505, 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 title:
The U.S. Army has its OPFOR, and so does the U.S. Navy – in the form of its F-16B Fighting Falcons! The Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) at NAS Fallon (near Reno in Nevada) fields a fleet of fourteen F-16A/B Block 15 fighters. These Fighting Falcons were part of an embargoed Pakistan Air Force order that spent many years in storage in the dry climate of Arizona. After being readied for flight again, they were dispatched to NSAWC in 2003 ready to take up dissimilar air combat training duties.
