You have probably already seen this, but this would be the one for me !

It got me wondering if there are any photos of Whitmanns Tiger in existance (I think i go search the interweb). I think for my next Tiger 1 project I will definately base it on a version that existed.
Bovington Tiger (to me) looks wierd. Its beat up rear end and gloss? paint. Looks unreal. I have seen pictures from a couple of museums and the tanks look kinda sad all lined up. I reckon if they built some giant dioramas around them it would add a little more excitement and put them into context. I seem to remember a story about a famous British tank commander that rammed a Tiger with his tank because he new at any range he couldnt knock it out. Funny though, once rammed both tank crews ran for it
. That's if I remember correctly! But it would make one hell of a lifesize diorama.
Anyone going to tank fest this year ? They might be running 131 again.
