As a fan of armored vehicles, especially tanks, Fury is must watch movie. In fact I have not watched this movie yet lol. Since I had the second children, now aged 2 years I have never been able to watch in the cinema again. Friends of the RC tank community had watched it together, but I can not participate. I read the internet that the main plot of this film is the legendary battle between the two tanks, Sherman tank of the United States and the legendary Tiger tank of Germany in World War II. I also know that this film is the only Hollywood film that uses the original Tiger tank, not a replica nor prop.

This very nice tank paper model template was submitted by our Korean friend, Kim. Kim presented a model of one of the famous tanks in world war II era, a German tank called King Tiger by the Allied or Königstiger by the Germans. It also called Tiger II, because it is an improvement from the formidable design of the legendary Tiger tank (Tiger I). King Tiger is bigger and stronger than Tiger I, it uses slope side armor on its turret like the Panther tank used which made it even more untouchable than Tiger I. The official name for this tank is Panzerkampfwagen Tiger Ausf. B.
This tank was short-lived, only 1 year in combat service (1944-1945), it was involved in the biggest tank battle of WWII, the "Battle of the Bulge" in winter 1944. The template consists of 7 patterns with 2 pages of assembly instructions included inside. The original template size is 25 MB, it's too big compare to Paper Replika template file's size, so I have to compress the file in just 2,5 Mb. It was designed by paperhino and gigaia and was build by Superdunk. They are all a member of paper model club, HardCraft. You can find them on their hangout forum : HARDCRAFT.

I made this model tank as a tribute to my fellow paper model designer as a hobby, Yudhi Kistyarto. His last work in progress was this Tiger tank as you can see on the screenshot below, that's his actual work on Tiger tank 3d model on Google Sketchup. He never got a chance to continue it, he passed away a year ago. I got this file from Christopher (Bamboogila Corner), Yudhi shared it to Chris for learning purpose, back then. When Chris informed me that he got Yudhi's file, suddenly I had an idea to continue Yudhi's work. I planned to make a simple Tiger, but apparently I can't help it to make it a little bit detail, so the final result is a semi detailed model. The scale is 1:35, not too big nor small, just right I think. I simplified the wheels, so the inner row wheels that are not visible are not modeled, just the visible parts. The tracks come in 2 options, detailed and simple, it's your call. Its turret is rotate-able, but its cannon angle is fixed on level position. I choose Tiger 131 from Bovington museum, United Kingdom as the color scheme, because that Tiger is the only Tiger I tank that still can be running today, the only one, so I think that's special. Other colored scheme also opened for the next projects when the master patterns is done.

I am still working on a commissioned project, while browsing on my reference database I found a lost nearly forgotten file, it is an assembly instruction for my Leopard 2 A4 main battle tank paper model. I nearly forget that I’ve never publish it on Paper Replika, until someone asked me about that tank few weeks ago. Now I have found the instructions so why not I prepare this model for a while and publish it. This model tank was designed six years ago in 2006, in the same timeline I designed the M1A2 Abrams model tank. This model also was a commercial product sold in my old paper model online store. The instruction is still in my old style, I hope it still can be helpful.
