One is from Wartanks, two Tamiya and one Hobby Master. There are also a few shots that should give you an idea how they compare to one another.
Cheers,

The whole Abteilung Burkhard?14th Brooklyn wrote:There were actually quiet a few Tiger II in Normandy, including a whole Abteilung with the Porsche turret.

Nothing to apologies for my friend, and - for the record - I wasn't trying to score any points off you. I was genuinely interested in the question.14th Brooklyn wrote:
Sorry my mistake!

To do my share...I prefer to read what Tank-Commanders of this time have to tell - in this matter: Will Fey'Panzerkampf im Bild' Panzerkommandanten berichten. A Largescale book of Commanders of the Heavy Tank Battalions.obriendavid wrote:The most important point that most WW2 german wargamers miss is that no matter how many tigers a unit was supposed to have on paper the numbers that actually got into action was only a fraction mainly due to breakdowns. A great book on the Normandy campaign, is Normandy Now and Then full of great pics and info.

Indeed. And even on those very rare occasions that the heavy Abteilungs and Companies did manage to get most of their available Tigers operational at the same time they were invariable spread quite thinly in small groups across wide areas of countryside because even a single Tiger could dominate a relatively large area of the battlefield, but more importantly - they were easier to hide from Allied aircraft that way! I suspect we've all seen WWII games with ludicrous concentrations of German heavy armour on the table.obriendavid wrote:The most important point that most WW2 german wargamers miss is that no matter how many tigers a unit was supposed to have on paper the numbers that actually got into action was only a fraction mainly due to breakdowns.
