The Bedford Boys Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Isn't this the one that got made for the movie "White Tiger" (or something like that) a while back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 That ne was made in Russia, this appears to be in Hungary & dated July 2010, the first shots I've seen of the White Tiger replica (which wasn't completed in time for the film, IIRC, some awful bodge-job featured in it) are from Sept 2011.

David Herbert Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It certainly looks good but seems to have access to the transmission via a hinged (not missing) glassis plate. The real one has a very substantial piece of armour welded in instead. I suspect that like the second 'white tiger' one (which I thought was very professional) it is based on MT-LB parts with the engine moved to the back and either a new or heavily modified lower hull to fit in all the extra suspension units for the overlapping wheels. Someone must know about it ! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulob1 Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 bloody good copy, seems to be too good for a film copy...the front drive wheels are really good...if not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Herbert Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 No, the Lada Niva is an obvious fake ! Horses look real though. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
