The Messerschmitt Tiger is a true
motoring legend , with 90 mph from its 500cc 2-stroke twin engine , but it wasn't made by Messerschmitt and was never marketed as a Tiger . |
|
Although it shared many component parts with
the Messerschmitt KR 200 it was actually made
by Fahrzeug Machinenbau Regensburg and
so was produced with the "FMR" name .
And the model was named " Tg500" because
the "Tiger" name was owned by another company . |
|
MODEL DIMENSIONS approx 560 x 280 x 240mm ( approx 22" x 11" x 9" )
|
|
Due to the complex shape of the TG 500 it is not possible to mould a
one-piece body , and so this TMC model is produced in 5 separate sections
|
|
TMC have already used the new bodyshell to produce the first Radio-Controlled TG 500.
It was modelled on the real TG 500 owned by an English Microcar collector and painted
in the correct shade of metallic blue , just like the real one . It was supplied Ready-to- Run , complete with all necessary batteries , charger and transmitter equipment . |
|
Some more details of the "Presentation A " unpainted bodyshell are in the photos below ...
|
|
And finally
a "Tiger Tail"
was made
and added ,
just like
the real car .
|
|
Grrrrr ! !
|
|
When the TG's owner met Fritz Fend , the
car's designer signed the Tiger's body.
The model even reproduces the signature .
|
|
And here is the Model TG with body raised
and its Radio-Controlled chassis revealed. |
|
Extra details
such as the
rear luggage rack
were made
and added to
complete the
personalisation
of this
"Made-to-Order"
finished model .
