“Excellent model from an excellent company, my second R/C Tank from Wonderland and I cannot praise the company enough. My wife bought me the King Tiger as a present and not being into models herself sort advice from Wonderland, they assisted her fully in making this choice of tank for me....thank you Wonderland”

“Purchased the tamiya king tiger kit. Haven't finished it yet but wanted to comment. Wonderland are just wonderful. They offer and deliver a 1st class service. I have bought several times off them and they deliver so quickly. I bought an item on Thursday and it was delivered the next day. I 100% recommend them.”

“Great service from Wonderland Models. The Tank itself is a thing of beauty with great detail but my main thanks goes to Alex at Wonderland Models who built and painted the tank for me and did a great job . Thank you”

“Another excellent model of this late-war German tank. Marvellous sound effects including 2 start-up sequences, gun recoils, fully functioning torsion bar suspension, and a well detailed commander figure. Decals and well detailed painting schemes for 4 different units. Optional self-adhesive "zimmerit" sheets are provided - work Ok up to a point but not on the hull machine gun mount, and a lot of the detail disappears after a couple of coats of paint are applied.”

“For 20 years I have dreamed of building a 1/16 R/C Full Option Tank kit. The Tiger tank has always fascinated me, and as a young boy, the 1/35 scale Tigers were sufficient. Now, as a 61 year old Disabled USN Veteran, The opportunity to purchase a larger kit has arrived. I wasn't sure about ordering this kit from overseas, but decided to chance it with Wonderland Models. I ordered this kit, the correspondence with Wonderland was perfect. The kit arrived within 5 days, (2 days were weekend), and it was in perfect condition. I built it within 7 days. The only problem I had was the kit was missing 17 grub screws from a parts bag. I plan on ordering some replacement screws so I may finish this awesome tank. I will order from Wonderland Models again, (Tamiya shorted me the grub screws, not Wonderland). My most sincere thanks to Wonderland Models for the smooth transaction. Peace”
