The reason is the gun and the frontal armour, and the fact that Allied crews reported every German tank they saw as a Tiger. It was also mechanically fragile, appallingly expensive and drank fuel at a rate that helped lose the war it was built to win.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTanks make good Metal Earth subjects because the flat armour plates suit sheet steel perfectly. Laser-cut stainless steel, tab-and-slot assembly, no glue or paint. The interleaved road wheels are the signature feature and the reason this takes longer than it looks. Tweezers essential.
