I'm having visions of 1/8 scale Bulge in a state or national park, but I suppose the NPS would fuss about us getting the terrain right. |

Looks like they go for about $2,000. USD They also have a pretty good line of 1/16th with a Tiger that scale a much more reasonable $260. USD Too bad not 1/9th instead of 1/8th as it would match up with the Dragon and other companies figure line. |

Yeah, either 1/9 or 1/6 can give you some options for crew and accompanying infantry. But 1/8? A showcase vehicle to be sure, but how do you set up a game? (Well, of course, how do you set up a game anyways???) Still, if you want to see combined arms gaming with R/C tanks, check out this 1/16 scale set-up:
