  3. No these vehicles have been retired and replaced with the Oshkosh M1070F same system sto the US Army HETS apart from the UK version has more axels on the trailer.

     

    From the British Army Website

     

    Logistic Vehicles | The British Army (mod.uk)

     

    Tank transporters or Heavy Equipment Transporters are capable of carrying 70-tonne main battle tanks.

    The HET can move its load rapidly and cost-effectively, saving wear and tear on the tracks and the roads.

    The HET is the most powerful tank transporter in production. It consists of an Oshkosh 1070F 8 x 8 tractor truck and a King Trailer GTS 100 seven-axle semi-trailer. Its after-cooled Caterpillar C18 turbocharged diesel engine produces 700bhp.

  4. Tiger Hobbies are branching out in to the world of Brick Models ( don't say Lego) and the world of wargaming 1/56 Plastic kits.

     

    Cobi Toys are the world largest Brick Model company doing Military models in Building Bricks.

     

    These range from 150 parts for £9.99 to over 2000 IN THE 1/300 Battleship range.  Remember with Brick Models, you can take them apart put them back in the box and flog them on at a reasonable price.

    As these are multi use plastics you will not have Greta Tunberg after you.

     

    Link to the range coming in late April to Tiger Hobbies

    WARLORD GAMES BOLT ACTION MODELS IN 1/56

    You may be shocked but the largest scale in the world in pure sales volume is possibly 1/56 for AFVs and troops, the gaming market in the UK is far bigger than the scale model Hobby, even though there is an obvious link in the fact the gaming kits are basically plastic kits marketed in a different way.

     

    Hornby Turnover about £60 Million a year with a share capital of similar amount, Games Workshops  based out of Nottingham, turns over £360 Million a year and has a share capital over close to 5 Billion, puts it into perspective.

     

    We are now seeing better and better 1/56 kits coming to the market and these are now showing up in competition at Model shows.

     

    Link to a review of a 1/56 Centurion Tank recently released by Rubicon another gaming range capturing part of the scale model market.

    At the moment 1/56 is still in the AFV, Military Vehicles and soldier market, but its only a matter of time before we see 1/56 Ground attack Aircraft.

  7. Coming soon in 2023 possibly the first 1/35 general kits of the RAM Kangaroo family.

    The price quoted is an emergency price the actual price will be cheaper, it so we can list the product.


    www.tigerhobbies.co.uk/product/gecko-models-35gm0085-1-35-canadian-ram-mkii-kangaroo-apc-late-version-due-later-2023/

    The Kangaroo was a Canadian armoured personnel carrier (APC) during the Second World War which was created by converting a tank chassis.

    Kangaroos were created as an expedient measure “in the field” by the Canadian Army, and were so successful that

    they were used by other Commonwealth forces, including the British Army. Their ability to manoeuvre in the field with tanks was a major

    advantage over earlier designs, and led to the dedicated APC designs that were introduced by almost all armies immediately after the war.


    – T74 Workable track links (with optional parts to add duckbill track extenders)

    – Driving compartment full interior

    -Engine compartment full interior

    -Detailed photo etch & 4 decals options.

    -Soldiers equipment & rescue stretcher parts included.

    -Headlight guards provided in optional photo etch parts or plastic parts.


    www.tigerhobbies.co.uk/product/gecko-35gm0086-1-35-canadian-badger-flamethrower-ram-mk-ii-late-prod-due-later-2023/

    Also the Badger RAM MK II

    This turretless variant was based on the Kangaroo APC, modified to use the Mk.II flamethrower already made famous by the Wasp (based on the Universal Carrier).

    The turret ring was covered, and surplus auxiliary turrets were mounted on top of these. The second series were complete vehicles,

    the turret receiving the flamethrower apparatus. Most served in Holland.

    – T49 Workable track link parts for optional (select to build the duckbill track extender parts)

    – Driving compartment full interior

    -Engine compartment full interior

    -Detailed photo etch & 2 decal options are provided.

    -Headlight guards provided in either photo etch parts or plastic parts.

  8. Tiger Hobbies will import in early April 2023 two new Great Wall Hobby Items,

    1.    1/72 Mig 29 Late Version 

    2.   1/32  P-40B  1941 Pearl Harbor, this was delayed due to poor exchange rates and poor shipping rates, both of these have improved since GWH released the information.  If we had imported on time this would have retailed at £169.99.

    This has now decreased to RRP £149.99 yes still expensive but not £169.99, at the new price this is in line with Tamiya 1/32 Spitfires and similar sized aircraft.

    Remember please check our retailers as you may get a better deal.
