In general - no. However there are the odd reported accounts of captured Tigers being used for short periods after capture until they broke down or damaged beyond use. This is because they were so technically advanced it was difficult to acquire spare parts. They were also taken back to HQ for evaluation purposes.

There are however examples of companies of Panther's used by the Rusiians. Ultimately the Russians preferred the more reliable Panzers and Stugs as they broke down less and spare parts were more plentiful

Must press on and finish my Warrior...
I'll be entering a Mustang from Academy in the GB, but I have to stick to my 'one model at a time' rule.

Hi all Animal Antics GBers
A serious point in amongst all the banter. This GB is incredibly popular. We haven't started yet and just consider the interest already.
My point is that with so many builds going on it will be almost impossible to give them all the attention they deserve. I will do my best to keep up but if I don't comment please understand that it is not lack of interest but lack of time.
I am sure others will feel the same.
Now back to the fun and games :smiling:
Jim
