Can they make an IS or a T-29?

It looks pretty good IMO. Shame it wasnt used in the movie. They prefered the Tiger P.

For one it does not have armour per se. Also, no actual 88 mm gun, ammunition and (most likely) radio equipment. So yes, it is much lighter than a real Tiger.

I wonder what’s the weight? It must be much lighter to be powered by 240HP engine. I bet it weighs no more than 20 tonnes.

Looks like a Mid production version (commanders cupola, road wheels). Early production look like Tiger 131, Late production look like the game version without the L/71.

Quite a few things aren’t quite right. It seems to be higher off the ground than real Tigers, outside road wheels aren’t dished (watch the 131 vids), doesn’t neutral turn (looks like a T-34 transmission), doesn’t ride like a Tiger and doesn’t sound like one, has a foot rung on the front, missing feifel air cleaners.

I could go on…and on

Looks a lot better then the ones usually used in movies, the one from Kellys heroes was horrible compared to this…

That’s what it was intended for if I’m not mistaken.
This was supposed to be used in the russian “White Tiger” movie, but they couldn’t get it ready in time. Whether or not it was supposed to actually represent the White Tiger instead of the glass-fibered IS-2 they used or as another tank entirely I’m not sure of.
