FANTASTIC scences there PaulE they look very realistic an ive enjoyed lookin through them as i love the ole tiger as one of my fav tanks pity we dint have it durein W/W2 as im sure the alies would have made it into a super tank as it nr was but ive heard that it had probs when in action but the 88 mm gun was a world beater

Thank you gentlemen.
Chris, all the Tigers seem to have had a lot of final drive problems. A slow turret traverse was also a drawback.

I believe the original concept was designed around a forty to forty-five ton vehicle.....I can't understand why Hitler insisted on a behemoth that couldn't even get out of it's own way!
After all, bigger is better........right?

Paul,
I have said it before but I love the detail you get in to these small scale builds.

I have to keep reminding myself about the scale.

Well, with a high muzzle velocity 88mm cannon and 80 to 90 rounds to stow, you'll need something of a size and w/enough armor to have decent defense, so those requirements pretty much drive 40+ tons.
Thanks guys.
Can't think of a justification for versions of Mouse.
Found another ROCO Tiger I. Will add this older version to the string as 215.

Every time I look at this I see something else. You are certainly the Master of the big dio.
Thanks gents.
OK, this should be it unless you guys come up w/something else I should add.
