it took 3 months, because Tamiya was not able to react on a new european law for tin-solder as fast as they had had to [:'(] - this is funny, because these kind of laws are announced long time before they become effective !

RE: King Tiger
Hallo Eugeni,
no I will not do that, because the schwere SS Panzerabteilung 503 (Karl Bromann) got their 36 Tiger II in the Sennelager Paderborn till the 25.1.45. So they had no Zemmerit - but I am lucky about that, so I do not have to do that work
Here you can see two Tiger of the sSSPzAbt. 503:
Hallo Tiger76,
yes it is really a fun to move step by step forward, finding more and more to do ...

RE: King Tiger
I can hardly tell the difference between some of those shots and the ones from real King Tigers. Awesome work. [8D]
