A Rommel - aspirant from Kettering University in Flint , Michigan , has build up a fully working , 1:2 scale edition of the Tiger I 56.9 - tonne heavy armoured combat vehicle used by the Wehrmacht in World War II . Not happy with that , he drives his astonishing conception — Guderian - style — on the route , with a “ yellowish triangle ” on the back . The thing is so sinister that his neighbours called the constabulary , believe he was plan to take over Poland . Or Detroit . It could have gone either fashion .
Thankfully , the police force understood there was no real danger in this vehicle , unless you consider plaster someone in crimson paint an act of war .
utter with tank treads and 3 - cylinder diesel motor locomotive , this is a paintball version of the Panzerkampfwagen VI — which is the actual proficient appellative , it was nicknamed Tiger by Ferdinand Porsche , who competed for the Nazi government declaration before doing cars for James Dean . This Tiger has a scuba - tank - power shank or else of terrifying 8.8 atomic number 96 KwK 36 L/56 carom that could take out Shermans and Churchills Little Joe from up to a naut mi off ( 1,600 m . )
The armour in this half - sized version , however , it much lighter than the original framework , which was able to withstand a direct impact of the 76.2 millimeter gun of the mighty Soviet T-34 tankful , at any range . The miniskirt - Tiger would probably not be able to stand the impact of a beer can . Still , we would love to give it a spin . [ Jalopnik ]
